SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING AN AIRCRAFT USING DISSIMILAR AIR DATA

A system and a method include air data sensors configured to detect one more characteristics of air surrounding an aircraft. At least three of the air data sensors differ in type. The air data sensors are configured to output air data. A flight control unit is in communication with the air data sens...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system and a method include air data sensors configured to detect one more characteristics of air surrounding an aircraft. At least three of the air data sensors differ in type. The air data sensors are configured to output air data. A flight control unit is in communication with the air data sensors. The flight control unit is configured to receive the air data from the air data sensors and control at least one aspect of the aircraft based on at least a portion of the air data. In at least one example, the flight control unit is further configured to vote in relation to the air data from the air data sensors.
