摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a microprocessor acting under the program control whose implementation permits to receive data e.g. speed information of aircraft in repository, from anemometric centre (8) and data e.g. speed information of aircraft in air i.e. true air speed, from a terrestrial repository processing unit (10). A determination unit obtains characteristics from the speed information. The microprocessor receives information of incidence of the aircraft in air, and the determination unit determines the characteristics of incidence information on a base. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system destined to be embarked in aircraft, comprising a wind estimating device (2) a method for estimating characteristics of displacement of air mass with respect to terrestrial repository of aircraft. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for estimating a characteristic e.g. force and direction, of air mass e.g. wind, with respect to a terrestrial repository, for an aircraft (claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The device permits to determine speed of the aircraft based on the speed information of aircraft in the repository and in air, thus estimating characteristics of the air mass such as wind with respect to the terrestrial repository in a precise manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a block diagram of a system embarked on an aircraft and comprising a wind estimation device. 2 : Anemometric sensor 4 : Inertial sensor 6 : Satellite positioning system 8 : Anemometric centre 10 : Terrestrial repository processing unit.
