摘要:
The invention relates to a method of protecting aircraft in flight against clear air turbulence (CAT). Consider an aircraft occupying a position P and moving horizontally at a speed V, a plane PH0 being the horizontal plane passing through P. According to the invention, the method includes performing at least one pair of evaluations of air temperature TB, TC at two points B, C which have positions that are symmetrical relative to the plane PH0. At least one pair of horizontal air speed evaluations are performed VHB, VHC at the two points B, C; An air temperature gradient is determined; A horizontal air speed gradient is determined; An index signifying a presence of CAT is determined; The preceding steps are repeated; A trend is analyzed over time of the index.
摘要:
An electrostatically servo-controlled pendular micro-sensor includes a pendular element disposed so as to respond to a force representative of a physical quantity to be measured. To avoid the drifts affecting the stability of the micro-sensor, generated by the existence of unstable parasitic voltages that impair the voltages provided by a system servo-controlling the pendular element, the electrostatic forces generated to draw back the pendular element through servo-control voltages have a zero mean value. The control voltages are periodic voltages or series of electric signals of equal durations, each having, preferably, a zero mean value.
