| Popis: | Reliable, accident-free operation of extra light aviation, drone aircraft, the parachute equipment for landing of people and loads, demands to increase an accuracy of determination of height for the purpose of their safe maneuvering, descent and landing. In the work the critical analysis of existing methods of the height measurement has been carried out for the purpose of defining the most accurate ones and the preference has been given to the barometric method. To decrease the measurement errors, the smart altimeter sensors (SAS) intellectual sensors have been developed, and on their basis the prototype of a barometric altimeter have been designed. In the course of computer modeling and prototyping it has been determined that in designing the altimeter it is necessary to use several SAS, and the accuracy of measurements is essentially affected by an arrangement of sensors on a flying object. The developed method of the height measurement using SAS includes the hardware-software compensation of the errors, caused by the atmospheric phenomena and aerodynamic parameters of the flying object design. The hardware – software for processing the measured data has been developed as well as the software for functioning of intelligent pressure sensor, automatic data processing and the information output to the altimeter display. The tests on the offered technique and hardware – software have been carried out in actual practice of operation. The developed altimeter has been installed on the equipment of a parachutist. In the test result it has been determined that the developed original method and the hardware – software permit to significantly decrease the errors of measurements, which do not exceed 1 meter while the airflow moving at speeds up to 8 meters per second 5 meters up to 70 meters per second |
