Uses for Angle of Attack as a Flight Control Instrument
Abstract
Literature is reviewed on the angle of attack sensor and display development. The use of angle of attack information in various phases with present and probable future weapon systems is emphasized. Attempts to improve the sensor and display of angle of attack information are described. With regard to mechanization and sensing, progress is reported in the various techniques used. An assessment is made of the present status of sensing techniques. Particular emphasis is placed upon present functional angle of attack devices in use, as well as those which are to be evaluated experimentally for possible use on advanced aerospace vehicles.
