Trends in airline avionics

Modern avionics are an integral part of the aircraft. They provide the functions of communication, navigation, energy management, identification, weather, terrain, and collision avoidance, the presentation of flight and warning data as well as aircraft guidance and stabilization. New developments in micro-electronics and display technology...

A Mathematical model for the analysis of navigation system errors of modern fighter aircraft

The paper describes a mathematical model for error analysis of an inertial navigation system by computer simulation. In order to compute the standard deviations of the navigation system errors, the matrix equation representing the set of linearized differential equations for the navigation system error behaviour is transformed into an evolution...
