The invention relates to a device for detecting and measuring wind at the front of an aircraft, said device comprising a lidar for the cyclic measurement of wind speeds at least a couple of measuring points located at the same distance, so-called measuring distance, from the nose of the aircraft. The invention is characterised in that it is suitable for measuring wind speeds, at each cycle, by means of the lidar, at a plurality of couples of measuring points (1-12) located at different measuring distances (xp-2, xp-1, xp), the difference between the largest measuring distance and the smallest measuring distance being more than 100 metres. The invention also relates to a method for detecting and measuring wind, which can be implemented by the device according to the invention.
A device for detecting and measuring wind, installed on board an aircraft, comprising:
A method for detecting and measuring wind, employed in an aircraft, wherein there are measured, cyclically, by means of a lidar, wind speeds at least one pair of measurement points situated at the same distance, referred to as measurement distance, from the nose of the aircraft, comprising:
