D04Weather radar

Observe weather ahead of the aircraft.

Manufacturers & products

Weather radars compare by detection mode and installation as well as range. Weather returns, turbulence detection and windshear functions have different limits.

Program applicability is stated for each listing. 737NG, 737 MAX, and other aircraft examples are distinct configurations; listed products are not automatically interchangeable or approved for installation.

manufacturer

Collins Aerospace

WXR-2100 / WXR-2100A MultiScan

Airborne weather radar detects and prioritizes convective hazards; numerical example refers specifically to the WXR-2100A sheet. [1][2]

Program / application

737 MAX — WXR-2100 family documented; A-variant effectivity unverified [1][2]

Custom program inquiry

What remains unverified

  • No equivalent flight-test dataset compares these products under identical precipitation and radome conditions.

Where it comes from

A company address is shown separately from a published factory location. Request the manufacturing site and lot traceability for the exact part when sourcing.

What to compare

  • Antenna and radome interface

    Aperture, scan clearance, radome loss and mounting determine performance.

  • Weather range · NM

    Specify mode and target/precipitation conditions rather than equating display range with guaranteed detection.

  • Turbulence and windshear

    Compare each hazard function separately, including optional features.

  • Scan geometry · deg

    Horizontal/vertical coverage and automatic tilt affect workload and coverage.

  • Attenuation handling

    Heavy precipitation can obscure weather farther away.

  • Display and controls

    Verify compatible buses, screens, dual-pilot modes and software.

  • Power and cooling · W

    Transmitter power differs from total electrical consumption.

  • Aircraft approval

    Review antenna, radome and avionics changes as one installation.

Selection & integration notes
  • Only three radar manufacturers are included; surveillance/military radars are not added to inflate this weather-radar category.
