Infrared ash detectors on planes

 Low-cost airline easyJet PLC unveiled plans Friday to test infrared technology's ability to detect volcanic ash clouds and urged other airlines to help map the ash risk across Europe's skies.
The company said the devices — which are placed on an aircraft's tail fin and can detect ash clouds within 60 miles (100 kilometers) — are the first of their kind, calling them "essentially a weather radar for ash."
