The patent application relates to a sensor system that measures flight motions with respect to a classical Euler angle system of coordinates by aligning itself with the plane of total angle of attack via a pendulum mass. The system permits a simple determination of lift and drag for a spinning vehicle at angle of attack whereby the measurements are used as inputs to a flight control system to control the motions of the spinning vehicle.
