ABSTRACT:
The output of a transducer providing a signal in accordance with the instantaneous air speed of an aircraft is differentiated and fed to a summing device which subtracts therefrom a signal in accordance with the horizontal acceleration of the aircraft, this signal being derived from the output of an inertial instrument such as an accelerometer. The output of the summing device represents the magnitude of the wind shear condition (rate of change of wind velocity with changes in altitude). This signal is fed to appropriate indicator means which may comprise an appropriate display, a peak magnitude storage device, a warning device indicating a dangerous wind shear condition, or a telemetering device providing a wind shear reading to a ground station for use in advising other aircraft.
