ABSTRACT:
A wind shear detection system compares air-speed with a composite signal derived from signals representative of longitudinal acceleration, normal acceleration, angle of attack and flight path angle to generate a shear signal. An enhanced version of the system is also compensated for roll angle, radio altitude and flap position. In a modified system, the accelerations are calculated along the velocity vector of the aircraft rather than along the horizontal axis to compensate for inaccuracies that could occur under extreme flight conditions such as high bank angle turns and dynamic maneuvers.
