INERTIAL MEASUREMENT DEVICE AND AN AIRCRAFT INCLUDING SUCH A DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to an inertial measurement device secured to a structure of a vehicle for which it is desired to measure speeds and/or accelerations, the device comprising at least one piece of moving equipment in rotation about a stationary axis of rotation Y relative to the structure, said moving equipment including at least two measurement means having respective sensitivity axes X′and Z′that are mutually orthogonal and that lie in a plane perpendicular to the stationary axis of rotation Y, a motor for driving the moving equipment in rotation, means for determining the angular position of the moving equipment, means for responding to the angular position of the moving equipment to determine the projection of the measurements taken in the rotary frame of reference axes X′and Z′by the said at least two measurement means onto a vehicle frame of reference X and Z.
