RAT and Pitots
Just a quick, naive SLF question related to the Aeroperu and AF447 incidents.
If the pitots are covered prior to washing, or are vulnerable to icing etc, would it not make sense from an aircraft design perspective to have a backup pitot set in the RAT housing?
That way it wouldn't be vulnerable from being taped over a la 757, and could give another set of figures a la AF447 purely from RAT deployment?
Just thinking idly, but wouldn't that solve a few issues?
