ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for airborne gravity surveying in which the airborne vehicle is stabilized with respect to speed, direction of heading and altitude, and in which the gravity meter has adequate sensitivity and signals that are recorded at a high sample rate on a magnetic tape, in which the aircraft position is computed using a multi-range navigation system that is located geodetically.
