Measurement of Sideslip

The direction of incident airflow can be determined by air flow direction sensors mounted on either side of the fuselage near the nose.

The airflow direction sensors can be vanes or multi-holed probes.

The average of the 2 air flow angles will indicate angle of attack, the difference between the 2 air flow angles will indicate sideslip angle.
