Abstract:
The report indicates that a knowledge of angle of attack alpha andor gust perturbation angle of attack alpha sub g is of prime importance for a longitudinal autopilot designed to alleviate the effect of vertical gusts. However, accurate measurement of alpha and alpha sub g is extremely difficult. This research indicates that the readily measurable normal acceleration factor n and pitch rate q can be used to provide alpha and alpha sub g information indirectly. Author
