MULTI-FUNCTION AIR DATA PROBES USING NEURAL NETWORK FOR SIDESLIP COMPENSATION

An air data sensing probe such as a multi-function probe includes a barrel having multiple pressure sensing ports for sensing multiple pressures. Instrumentation coupled to the pressure sensing ports provides electrical signals indicative of the pressures. An inertial navigation system input of the probe receives electrical signals indicative of inertial navigation data for the aircraft. A neural network of the probe receives as inputs the electrical signals indicative of the multiple pressures and the electrical signals indicative of the inertial navigation data. The neural network is trained or configured to provide as an output, electrical signals indicative of an air data parameter.
