Abstract :
Terminal area flight test results of a differential GPS (Global Positioning System) inertial navigational system are presented. The flight test was a joint Honeywell/NASA-Langley project completed in November 1990. Over 120 landings were made with the NASA Transport Systems Research Vehicle (TSRV), a specially modified Boeing 737-100, including 36 fully automatic differential GPS/inertial landings. A description of the system implementation and preliminary flight test results are provided
