LOW PROFILE AIR DATA SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

A system and method for an aircraft (50) includes a low profile pneumatic sensing system and an acoustic sensing system. The low profile pneumatic sensing system includes a pneumatic sensor (30; 52a, 52b) positioned to sense first sensed data of an airflow about an exterior of the aircraft (50) and...

More Information
Summary:A system and method for an aircraft (50) includes a low profile pneumatic sensing system and an acoustic sensing system. The low profile pneumatic sensing system includes a pneumatic sensor (30; 52a, 52b) positioned to sense first sensed data of an airflow about an exterior of the aircraft (50) and does not extend beyond a boundary layer of the aircraft (50). The first sensed data is used to determine first air data parameters. The acoustic sensing system is configured to emit acoustic signals about the exterior of the aircraft (50) and sense the acoustic signals as second sensed data. The second sensed data is used to determine second air data parameters.
