Balance Type Angle of Attack Indicator.

Abstract

The invention relates to an angle of attack indicator for use as a cock pit instrument including movable elements which respond to the differences in pressure at selected points on the aircraft. The pressure points include total pressure sensed by the aircraft pitot tube, atmospheric pressure sensed at aircraft static pressure port, and pressure sensed from at least one port on wing surface.
