Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An air data system comprises a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) unit, comprising an optical transceiver that includes at least one light transmitter and at least two light receivers. A processing unit is in operative communication with the LiDAR unit. The LiDAR unit is configured to transmit at least one light beam into an external interaction air region along a first line of sight, and collect scattered portions of the at least one light beam from the external interaction air region in the at least two light receivers. The at least two light receivers are configured to sample the scattered portions of the at least one light beam from a common volume of air in the external interaction air region. The processing unit is operative to receive collected light data from the LiDAR unit and process the light data to produce air data parameters.
