Gliders TRIZ Cases
- Accelerometer-Based Angle-of-Attack Estimation for Unpowered Flight
Body-fixed accelerometer outputs replace bulky probes and pitot-static hardware to estimate angle of attack in small unpowered vehicles.
- Flight Computer Angle-of-Attack Estimation from Body-Fixed Load Factors
Using body-fixed load factor ratios, the flight computer derives angle of attack for unpowered vehicles without probes or pitot-static hardware.
