ABSTRACT:
Air turbulence ahead of an aircraft is determined by scanning the beam of a variable focal distance laser airspeed unit close-in to the aircraft to determine aircraft airspeed and angle of attack, and scanning the beam at distances farther out from the aircraft and measuring airspeed. Discrepancies between the close-in measurement and the farther out measurement are quantifiably indicative of air turbulence.
