Do aircrafts have Horns?

0

Yes and no. They don’t have horns as you are probably thinking of them, as in car, truck or train horns. However, all certified aircraft are equipped with a stall warning device (not engine stalls, but a warning indicating that the critical angle of attack for the wing is being approached, which, if exceeded, results in a stall, or loss of lift, due to separation of airflow over the upper surface of the wing) – some older aircraft use a stall warning light, but most aircraft have a stall warning horn inside the cockpit. In addition, larger aircraft often have warning horns and/or tones for various system failure modes – again, these are audible signals within the cockpit to alert the crew.
