Low-speed Air Data Sensor for Tilt-rotor Control

Topic description

Specific Challenge:

Improvements in tiltrotor control and performance in the low speed (0-50 knots) regime requires the availability of high fidelity air data. Pneumatic-based air data systems cannot provide this, whereas state of the art laser or microwave systems could. The present activity involves the integration of a proven (min TRL-7) low speed air data system with the flight control system to provide the innovative tiltrotor control in the low-speed regime.
