Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back AUTONOMOUS HEADING SENSORS NAVIGATION AND FLIGHT SYSTEMS AIRCRAFT O.V. Skudneva The necessity of solving the problems of the exact initial exhibition of the parking course for solving the problems of navigation and piloting of aircraft, including in critical operating conditions, has been substantiated. The features of the initial exhibition of the course in conditions of middle latitudes and the complexity of determining the parking course in high latitudes are characterized. Various methods of initial course exhibition are considered. The use of transport unmanned aerial vehicles for various purposes is argued. The creation of navigation and flight systems based on course and inertial systems using an onboard digital computer for transport unmanned and manned aerial vehicles is proposed. Since the high accuracy of the initial course exhibition and maintaining the high accuracy of the current course in fl ight are the main requirements for navigation and aerobatic systems, it is necessary to constantly improve the methods of conducting the initial exhibition in relation to the specific operating conditions of aircraft. Keywords: aircraft, heading system, inertial system, Earth’s magnetic field, initial course exhibition, magnetic deviation, navigation and flight system, onboard digital computer, unmanned aerial vehicle.
