Graham Nutt asks about state-of-the-art attitude and related sensors to
support his glass cockpit. Saw a very clever GPS-based system demonstrated on
a non-flying model at Oshkosh this summer. They used very inexpensive rate
sensors to measure acceleration in all axes, and the GPS to buffer and
stabilize the rate sensors. Used the integrated output to drive flat panel
cockpit displays. As they say at the computer shows, "It gave good demo!" 

Unfortunately, have lost the reference/contact info during our move last
month. It will show up, but this is the best I can do for now.  If anyone
knows the outfit doing this work, I'd appreciate a contact as well.
