ABSTRACT:
A steering and stabilization system for an aircraft or other vehicle including a device, for the determination of attitude of the vehicle, in which three, or alternatively, two magnetometers are mounted in the vehicle with respect to the direction of its fore-and-aft axis to determine each co-ordinate of a set of three orthogonal co-ordinates of attitude of the vehicle and in which the orthogonal co-ordinates determined by the magnetometers are transformed into respective geodetic co-ordinates. The system also includes an additional sensor of attitude to provide supplementary information relating to one of the co-ordinates of attitude determined by the magnetometers, and a microcomputer by which signals representative of the transformed co-ordinates and signals representative of the supplementary information are coupled and control signals, required for a control and adjustment system of the vehicle, are calculated in accordance with signals representative of a predetermined motion of the vehicle with which the microcomputer has been programmed.
