INTRODUCTION
Since the earliest days of aviation pilots have used a magnetic compass for navigation, using the instrument to show heading information.
Magnetometers used in aviation measure the Earth's magnetic field in order to show orientation. There are of two types: Absolute and Relative (classed by their methods of calibration).
-
Absolute magnetometers are calibrated using their own known internal constants.
This article describes the workflow for a regular Flight Control System (FCS) integration project.
UAV Navigation works on a standard lead time of 6 weeks for its products, starting when a Purchase Order is placed.
INTRODUCTION
In aerodynamics, the flight envelope defines operational limits for an aerial platform with respect to maximum speed and load factor given a particular atmospheric density. The flight envelope is the region within which an aircraft can operate safely.

1. General. A datalink is a means of transmitting information from one point to another. When the transmission is accomplished using a wireless means, the datalink may also be referred to as a 'radio link' or 'radio modem'.

1. Air data information is a key issue for use onboard aircraft in order to estimate current altitude and airspeed. Such flight parameters may be measured using a variety of different sensors.
