The measurements that are taken of an aircraft’s angle with respect to the flow field (angle of attack) typically rely on the angle of attack (AoA) measurement package or angle measurement system (AMS) that has been established. Ground testing angle of attack measurements may also depend on the system that is used for mounting the model that is being tested.
For a vehicle in free-flight or a model within a wind-tunnel test section, angle measurement devices are capable of measuring the following:
- Pitch angle
- Roll angle
