Abstract
The fixed-wing time-domain airborne electromagnetic method (FTEM) has been widely used in metal mining exploration, groundwater mapping and other fields worldwide, and in recent decades, its use has gradually also become more prevalent in China. The first generation of the fixed-wing time-domain airborne electromagnetic system (iFTEM-I), researched and developed by the Institute of Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration (IGGE), has been demonstrated in recent years. In this article, we introduce the brief working principle and system parameters of iFTEM-I, and we show that the effective prospecting depth of iFTEM-I is up to 350 m, which is indicated by a comparison of the results between iFTEM-I and a ground TEM system (TEM-30B) carried out in Binxian.
