Maybe this question has been answered already, and I could not find anything on it.
But how does the laser beam gets into the cockpit?? A laser is a straight line, so from the ground there would be no way to direct it into the cockpit? They would have to fly in another plane next to the target airplane and shine it into the cockpit, or it comes from a point which is higher then the target plane (satellite?) or a plane flying higher. Or maybe the source sits on the end of the runway and waits for a plane too land and the shine it into the cockpit.
Anyone has any info on this?
