Airspeed prediction filter

摘要

An air data computer outputs a data stream indicative of measured airspeed of an aircraft, for use in generating a display of airspeed to a pilot. To correct for the inherent processing delay, a correction factor is added to the data stream, so that the display is more closely related to the actual airspeed of the aircraft at the time of the display. The correction factor can be calculated by determining the average rate of change of airspeed during a preceding time interval and multiplying the average rate of change by the processing delay.
