ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for three-dimensional flight control based generally upon measuring and comparing actual air pressures at or near various surfaces of an aircraft during flight. Sensors are provided for measuring air pressure acting on the aircraft surface. The method includes measuring air pressure differentials between two or more sensors to evaluate certain critical flight parameters, such as the actual lift being produced, the air direction and speed relative to the aircraft, the air density, and the aircraft position and trajectory. The actual and comparative data provide information about the present flight conditions and performance if the aircraft, such as whether there is ice formed or forming on the wings, the direction and approach of wind shear, whether a stall is approaching, etc. The information can be evaluated by a computer, the aircraft's automatic flight control system ("AFCS"), or flight crew so that appropriate flight control measures can be taken.
