An approach for an on-board wind measurement system for aircraft is presented, directed at a low-cost solution and a miniaturization of the hardware elements. An efficient software has been developed which contributes to the low-cost solution. With appropriate computational procedures, it is possible to determine the angles of attack and sideslip using navigation data. Thus, dedicated aerodynamic sensors are not needed. Results from flight tests are presented for showing the performance of the system. A system was developed for determining the speed and the direction of the wind on board of an aircraft. Development objectives are a low-cost solution and a miniaturization of the hardware. An essential feature of the conceptual approach of the system is the determination of the angles of attack and sideslip using navigation data. This feature and an efficient software contributed to the low-cost solution. The wind determination system is tested in a flight test program from which results are presented for showing its performance.
