Sideslip Angle Probe
Hi PPRUNERS,
Was wondering if there's really a need for the A380 to have the Sideslip Angle Probes installed.I mean,we don't see it on the other airliners,why the A380 then?Is it susceptible to sideslipping/skidding while banking due to its size?If so,why doesn't the 744 has it installed?
Could someone shed some light on this please.Thanks!!

slip comp is used on the E-jets in AOA limiting protection.
I would imagine with such a large side area that side slip will have a measurable effect on local static pressure at the ports and so needs to be accounted for.
