Abstract
A system for correcting an air temperature (AT) reading can include a water content sensor configured to measure a water content in an airflow and to output a water content signal indicative thereof, an AT sensor configured to measure an air temperature and output an AT signal indicative thereof, and a correction module operatively connected to the water content sensor and the AT sensor. The correction module can be configured to receive the water content signal and the AT signal and to correct the AT signal based on the water content to output a corrected AT signal.
Claims19
A system for correcting an air temperature (AT) reading, comprising:
- a water content sensor configured to measure a water content in an airflow and to output a water content signal indicative thereof;
- an AT sensor configured to measure an air temperature and output an AT signal indicative thereof;
- and
- a correction module operatively connected to the water content sensor and the AT sensor, wherein the correction module is configured to receive the water content signal and the AT signal and to correct the AT signal based on the water content to output a corrected AT signal.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable instructions configured to cause a computer to perform a method, the method, comprising:
- receiving a water content signal from a water content sensor that is configured to measure a water content in an airflow;
- receiving an air temperature (AT) signal from an AT sensor that is configured to measure an air temperature;
- correcting the AT based on the water content;
- and
- outputting a corrected AT signal to be used by one or more aircraft systems.
