Abstract
A method of determining an angular velocity of an aircraft includes measuring the angular velocity using at least one gyro delivering a measured angular velocity signal affected by stochastic noise; measuring the angular acceleration of the aircraft using at least one accelerometer delivering a signal representing the angular acceleration of the aircraft; and using a filtering complementary in a frequency domain to combine a sum of the measured angular velocity signal and the angular acceleration signal so as to obtain a hybrid estimated angular velocity signal with reduced stochastic noise.

31. A system for determining an angular velocity of an aircraft comprising:
-
at least one gyro configured to deliver measured angular velocity signals affected by stochastic noise; at least one accelerometer configured to deliver angular acceleration signals of the aircraft; and a hybridizing module coupled to the at least one gyro and to the at least one accelerometer configured to hybridize and to filter completely in the frequency domain, the hybridizing module including; a subtractor configured to receive the measured angular velocity signal and a previously-estimated angular velocity; a filter connected to the subtractor configured to receive as input a difference between the angular velocity sign and the hybrid estimated angular velocity signal produced by the subtractor and configured to deliver as output a bias correction; a summing circuit connected to the filter and configured to receive as input the output of the filter and the angular acceleration signals of the aircraft; and an integrator connected to the summing circuit and configured to receive as input a sum from the summing circuit and to deliver as output a hybrid estimated angular velocity having reduced stochastic noise. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
