An oscillatory method for the flight calibration of sideslip and incidence sensors
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
The local flow angles measured by incidence and sideslip probes mounted on aircraft differ in general from the free stream or ‘true’ values due to the flow field of the aircraft and of the sensors themselves.
This note describes a method of determining the correction factors by means of measurements made in oscillatory motion. The longitudinal short period mode is used for incidence calibration, the dutch roll for sideslip.
