Validation method of aerodynamic measurements and associated validation device

A method for validating aerodynamic measurements implemented by an aeronautical measurement architecture embedded at least partially in an aircraft and comprising N separate measurement paths, each measurement path comprising Pm probes, the index m varying from 1 to N, the method comprising:

• acquiring an elementary measurement from each probe;
• for each measurement path, determining a resultant measurement from the elementary measurements of the probes belonging to this measurement path;
• and
• comparing the resultant measurements among themselves:
• when the resultant measurements are consistent with each other, validating the elementary measurements;
• and
• when a resultant measurement related to path k is inconsistent with the other resultant measurements:
• selecting a measurement path i whose number of probes Pi is at least 2;
• determining Pi+Pk consistence values, each consistence value being determined by a consistence function on a subset of elementary measurements of the probes of paths i and k excluding the elementary measurement related to one of the probes belonging to one of the paths;
• determining an inconsistent value among all the consistence values, the inconsistent value being calculated on the subset of elementary measurements excluding the elementary measurement related to probe j;
• and
• invalidating any elementary measurement from probe j.
