Short summary

The control technique in a gust-alleviation system using the airborne Doppler lidar is expected to minimize the risks of turbulence-related accidents. Accurate estimation of the vertical wind is important in the successful implementation of a gust-alleviation system. An estimation algorithm of the airflow vector based on the lidars is proposed for preview control. The estimation performance and the computational cost of the proposed method can satisfy the performance demand for preview control.
