Abstract
A system for calculating airspeed and dynamic pressure comprises a system body, an internal accelerometer, located within the system body, an internal pressure sensor, located in the system body, the internal pressure sensor being not hermetically sealed within the system body and capable of measuring the static pressure of the ambient atmosphere, and a processor in reception of the internal accelerometer, and the internal pressure sensor, capable of calculating Mach number via an axial acceleration, and capable of calculating a dynamic pressure and a true airspeed via the Mach number.
