An aircraft control system for computing a yaw compensated angle of attack is disclosed. The system includes an angle of attack sensor for generating a signal which represents an aircraft\s angle of attack as determined by an angle of attack vane and a transverse accelerometer for generating a signal in response to the lateral acceleration of the aircraft. A summing device sums the two signals to thereby provide a yaw compensated angle of attack signal. The system may also include a rudder deflection sensor for generating a signal which represents the deflection of an aircraft\s rudder. The rudder deflection signal is then subtracted from the yaw compensated angle of attack in the summing device. A stall warning system incorporating the yaw compensation system includes a stall warning computer for comparing the yaw compensated angle of attack signal to a predetermined value. The stall warning computer then triggers a stall warning device when the yaw compensated angle of attack signal exceeds the predetermined value.
