The Development of Primary Equations for the Use of On-Board Accelerometers in Determining Aircraft Performance.

Abstract

Primary equations for the use of on-board accelerometer data (both flight path and body mounted) for determining aircraft performance are developed. Primary equations are those mathematical relationships which relate measured quantities to useful parameters. They are distinguished from secondary and analysis equations in that the latter are used to either standardize or separate effects in the data. Reference materials are cited, or methods are presented for obtaining all parameters necessary in the use of the primary equations. In cases where sufficient reference materials are not available, the equations are derived. An equation summary is presented for the user who does not wish to go through the development procedures.
