This paper presents a novel wind estimation approach, which is compared with existing ideas utilizing different combinations of common aircraft sensors to estimate the wind velocity in real time at the location of an aircraft. These different techniques were evaluated using simulation data as well as two experimental unmanned aircraft flight tests using validation data from a ground weather station. Significant performance advantage was shown of the new filtering technique over the existing approaches.
