The object of the present invention is to provide an air data sensor that does not require an external input of a reference velocity as a Doppler LIDAR, has a function of autonomously determining the absolute airspeed, and has no position error. The optical air data sensor in accordance with the present invention is an optical air data sensor, mounted on an aircraft, for emitting a laser light as a transmission light into atmosphere, and then receiving a laser scattered light produced by scattering of the laser light by aerosol present in the atmosphere as a reception light, thereby to measure an airspeed and a wind velocity of airflow in a distant region on the basis of a Doppler shift amount between the transmission light and the reception light, wherein a true airspeed is autonomously measured, without setting a reference velocity, by successively sweeping a frequency offset corresponding to a reference velocity for providing an offset to a measurement frequency, and performing this sweeping within a frequency range in which the Doppler shift amount is measured.

A navigation and guidance computer system using navigation sensors to determine aircraft position, and automatically control the aircraft to fly from an initial position to intercept and follow a crew-selected rendezvous orbit in accordance with Air Traffic Control and military specified rules. It creates maneuvers that result in smooth, efficient motion of the aircraft from an initial position to the execution of a rendezvous orbit. It controls the aircraft by applying commands to the aircraft's autopilot. The system creates the smooth and coordinated maneuvers by considering and anticipating all constraints on the aircraft flight path by creating a single maneuver that is a re-entry maneuver, an over fly maneuver, and a turning maneuver all as a single turn that is contained entirely within the allowable airspace. All maneuvers are created and executed recognizing the turning capability of the aircraft considering allowable bank angles, current wind conditions and true airspeed.

A system and method are provided for calculating Mach number and true airspeed without reference to data from a pitot static sensor. The true airspeed and Mach number are calculated using the altitude information from GPS, IRS, Radio Altimeter and other onboard sensors other than the air data computer (ADC). The computed true airspeed or Mach number could be used to confirm the ADC information, or in lieu of the ADC information when the ADC information is unreliable or unavailable.

The invention belongs to the helicopter atmosphere system field, particularly to an air speed correction method for helicopter maneuvering flight, and solves the problem of air speed change in reverse direction when a helicopter performs large maneuvering movements like changing from rapid downslide to rapid climbing. An inertia sensor on the helicopter measures a vertical acceleration a; the vertical acceleration a opens a mobile points window for low pass filtering processing; the vertical acceleration is corrected after filtering processing to obtain a correction air speed that is close to a real air speed. <{EN3}>The correction of the air speed that is has a local distortion benefits controlling the flight stability by the automatic stationary system, reducing pilot's control burden and improving flight comfort level.
