Sorry, I'll have to pull out the doc... artificial feel was not "my" system. But yes, I agree, I would think "q" was definitely one of the inputs.
If so, what did the system use in the event of uAS ?
I can't remember any UAS incidents ever being mentioned.
On a vaguely related note, did Concorde ever suffer from pitot icing / similar uAS or at FL60+ was it simply not a problem ?
Concorde went above Mach 1 at about FL350. At cruise altitude (FL500 to FL600) and Mach 2, TAT was in the order of +120°C, so icing was not really a problem then. And yes, at that altitude, Concorde was basically 'above' the weather, including the ITCZ..
