  • Patent number: 11472568
    Abstract: A aircraft health management system for identifying an anomalous signal from one or more air data systems (ADS) includes one or more of a frequency processor, configured to provide a spectral signal that is representative of a frequency content of the first ADS signal, a noise processor, configured to provide a noise signal that is representative of a noise level of the first ADS signal, and a rate processor, configured to provide a rate signal that is representative of a rate of change of the first ADS signal. The aircraft health management system also includes a comparator configured to provide a differential signal between the first ADS signal and the second ADS signal, and a prognostic processor configured to determine if the ADS signal is anomalous by comparing values representative of a flight condition signal, the differential signal, and the spectral, noise, and/or rate signals.

  • Patent number: 11293815
    Abstract: A system for correcting an air temperature (AT) reading can include a water content sensor configured to measure a water content in an airflow and to output a water content signal indicative thereof, an AT sensor configured to measure an air temperature and output an AT signal indicative thereof, and a correction module operatively connected to the water content sensor and the AT sensor. The correction module can be configured to receive the water content signal and the AT signal and to correct the AT signal based on the water content to output a corrected AT signal.
