windsocks
Fabric airfield indicators
A windsock is a tapered fabric tube mounted on a pole, open at both ends, that fills with air and points in the direction the wind is blowing.
Windsocks appear at airports, helipads, and chemical plants—anywhere wind direction matters for safety.
They also indicate wind strength: a fully extended sock means strong wind, a limp one means calm air.
