Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A procedure and a device for the determination of current airspeeds [ 13 ] of a rotorcraft [ 2 ] in a stationary flight regime and/or at low speeds. A calculation system [ 1 ] incorporates two pairs of polynomial calculation laws [ 9] [10 ] that are executable successively by pairs. A pair of first polynomial laws [ 9 ] calculates estimated airspeeds [ 11 ], consisting respectively of longitudinal and lateral airspeeds, and is constructed through multilinear regression based on parameters relating to simulated flight points [ 17 ] defined by means of a flight simulator [ 18 ]. A pair of second polynomial laws [ 10 ] calculates the current airspeeds based on the estimated airspeeds [ 11 ], and is constructed through multilinear regression based on parameters relating to test-flight points defined by means of test flights [ 25].

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A procedure for calculating and displaying current airspeeds of a specific rotorcraft in low-speed evolutions, with the current airspeeds consisting respectively of a longitudinal current airspeed LAS Vx and a lateral current airspeed LAS Vy , the procedure including: an operation for the development of a calculation rule for the current airspeeds, which development operation includes a test-flight operation on board a rotorcraft and an operation for the in…
