Air turbulence e.g. turbulence in clear sky, determining method for e.g. cargo aircraft, involves measuring values of parameters relative to aircraft at position, and determining turbulence information independent of aircraft configuration

摘要

The method involves measuring values of parameters e.g. speed, relative to an aircraft e.g. cargo aircraft, at an aircraft`s particular position, and determining turbulence information independent of aircraft`s configuration e.g. mass, and position, on the aircraft, by measuring units (2, 3). Information having the position and the turbulence information, is transmitted from the aircraft to another aircraft. A turbulence impact on the latter aircraft is predicted if the latter aircraft is found at the position. The predicted impact is utilized during the time of flight of the latter aircraft. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an air turbulence determining device comprising a measuring unit (2) an aircraft comprising an air turbulence determining device.
