Zusammenfassung:A system and method for an aircraft (30; 30') includes an air data system and an acoustic sensing system. The air data system includes a pitot tube (32a) positioned to sense a pitot pressure of an airflow about an exterior of the aircraft (30; 30'), and an angle of attack vane (36a) positioned to sense an angle of attack of the aircraft (30; 30'). The pitot pressure and the angle of attack are used to determine first air data parameters. The acoustic sensing system is configured to emit acoustic signals about the exterior of the aircraft (30; 30') and sense the acoustic signals as sensed data. The sensed data is used to determine second air data parameters.
