ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for providing a measure of the acceleration of an aircraft along its flight path derived from computations involving inertial measurements of longitudinal and normal accelerations of the aircraft relative to the direction of the earth's "g" field as determined by a gyro vertical, in conjunction with a measurement of true airspeed as determined by an air data computer responsive to a Pitot static sensor. The computation includes filtering means responsive to the inertial and air data measurements to compensate for the relatively long term errors introduced by the gyro vertical erection characteristics and the relatively short term errors introduced by the Pitot-static sensor of airspeed.
