  • Publication number: 20190367178
    Abstract: To realize stable airspeed control considering remote turbulence, the present invention provides an aircraft speed information providing system includes: an airspeed measurement device that measures a present airspeed of an aircraft; an acceleration measurement device that measures present acceleration of the aircraft; a remote turbulence measurement device that measures remote turbulence in front of the aircraft; and a computation processing device that calculates a predicted airspeed of the aircraft on the basis of the measured present airspeed and present acceleration and the remote turbulence measured by the remote turbulence measurement device.

  • Patent number: 7561067
    Abstract: A measurement system for an aircraft having the three-axis components of the airspeed of the aircraft, the three-axis components of the wind speed currently encountered by the aircraft, and the wind speed distribution ahead of the aircraft simultaneously in real time. It comprises a Doppler anemometer measuring the airflow speeds at a plurality of points separated by a prescribed distance in the beam irradiation direction that changes in a time series, and an inertial data measurement device measuring the movement information and positional information of the aircraft. Moreover, the display system of the aircraft includes the horizontal two-axis airspeed of the aircraft, the three-axis components of the wind speed currently encountered by the aircraft, and information on the wind speed distribution ahead of the aircraft are displayed simultaneously in real time.

  • Publication number: 20070236367
    Abstract: In the measurement system for an aircraft according to the present invention, the three-axis components of the airspeed of the aircraft, the three-axis components of the wind speed currently encountered by the aircraft, and the wind speed distribution ahead of the aircraft, are measured simultaneously, by providing a Doppler anemometer which measures the airflow speeds at a plurality of points separated by a prescribed distance in the beam irradiation direction, and an inertial data measurement device which measures the movement information and positional information of the aircraft. Furthermore, in the measurement system for an aircraft according to the present invention, the measurement accuracy of the device is improved by providing means for obtaining information the movement and positional information of the aircraft during measurement, from the inertial data measurement device, and for correcting the measurement values from the Doppler anemometer by means of the information.
