Aerodynamic authority / sensing the flux
Hi there,
Just wondering about the opportunity to provide to the pilots additional flight parameters such as the AoA and beyond: wouldn't it be possible to measure the efforts generated by all the control surface actuators (in response to the flight control loop orders), to estimate directly/specifically their aerodynamic authorities and display them ? (roughtly, the harder to actuate the control surface, the more aerodynamic authority it has ? or an estimation performed through more sophisticated aerodynamical models for each control surface and the airframe ?).
