Abstract

The paper considers the problem of estimating the angle of attack of an aircraft only by indications of accelerometers that are rigidly set on its fuselage. This task is posed as a task of “realization”, when the structure and the order of linearized model of the estimation problem is unknown. The possibility of solving this problem is analyzed.
