Flight test results on navigation data based determination of air flow angles at aircraft

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A system for determining the air flow angles on-board of the aircraft and results from flight tests are presented. A computational procedure is applied for calculating the angles of attack and sideslip, using navigation data. Thus, dedicated aerodynamic sensors are not required. The system for determining the angles of attack and sideslip can be realized using miniaturized hardware components, yielding a low-cost solution. An experimental version has been built and installed in a research aircraft. Results from flight tests are presented for verification of the system.
