Design of an instrument for measuring the true vertical velocity of an airplane at moment of contact in landing
In the design of the Vertical Velocity Meter a survey was first conducted of the existing methods used to measure the vertical velocity of an airplane when landing. A study was then made of these methods and of other unsuccessful attempts to design a Vertical Velocity Meter to determine just why the...
