Abstract
An attitude determination system composed of gyroscopes, accelerometer and magnetometer is designed. An extended Kalman filter was used for estimating aircraft’s state. The attitude can be determined via data fusion technique. The experimental results indicate that this combination could effectively restrain attitude error arising from the random drift of sensors. The system has the characteristics of small size, low cost and good reliability.
