Abstract
This paper presents a method to estimate steady wind and a maneuvering strategy for loitering under a strong, steady wind. The wind estimation uses Global Positioning System velocity only through a novel filter design without airspeed measurement. The wind estimate is then used to guide the aircraft to crab in a direction perpendicular to the wind, thereby avoiding large changes in flight variables if an orbit-type maneuver is attempted. The proposed method is demonstrated through flight tests.
