MULTI-FUNCTION PROBE AIR DATA SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE INCLUDING ACOUSTIC SENSORS

An air data system for an aircraft includes a multi-function probe (MFP) and an acoustic sensor system. The MFP is positioned to sense pressure of an airflow about an exterior of the aircraft. The pressure is used to generate first air data parameters for the aircraft. The acoustic sensor system is...

More Information
Summary:An air data system for an aircraft includes a multi-function probe (MFP) and an acoustic sensor system. The MFP is positioned to sense pressure of an airflow about an exterior of the aircraft. The pressure is used to generate first air data parameters for the aircraft. The acoustic sensor system is configured to emit acoustic signals about the exterior of the aircraft and sense the acoustic signals as sensed data, which is used to generate second air data parameters.
