And if one 'dies', there's always the other side.....
Did the artificial feel include airspeed as input ? - intuitively I feel it must do (and I believe B777 does), but deltas are very different so maybe it wasn't needed ?
If so, what did the system use in the event of uAS ?
On a vaguely related note, did Concorde ever suffer from pitot icing / similar uAS or at FL60+ was it simply not a problem ?
