Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 4, wherein determining the monotonic portion of the look-up curve of the angle-of-attack operating plot comprises:
obtaining pluralities of first and second aerodynamic data characteristics as respective functions of a range of angle-of-attack directions;
computing, by a processor, pluralities of first and second body-fixed coefficients as the respective functions of the range of angle-of-attack directions;
determining, by the processor, a plurality of body-fixed accelerations as a function of a prospective range of the range of angle-of-attack directions based on respective pluralities of quotients of the first and second body-fixed coefficients as the respective functions of the range of angle-of-attack directions, wherein the determined plurality of body-fixed accelerations as a function of a prospective range of the range of angle-of-attack directions corresponds to the look-up curve of the angle-of-attack operating plot; and
determining the monotonic portion based on a filtering, by the processor, of the look-up curve.
