TAO SYSTEMS AND UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A SENSOR SYSTEM PROVIDING SECTIONAL AERODYNAMIC FORCES AND MOMENTS WITH FAST RESPONSE, LOW VOLUME/SIZE/POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR EASE OF INSTALLATION, AND MINIMAL CALIBRATION REQUIREMENTS. AVIATION LOSS OF CONTROL (LOC) ACCIDENTS OFTEN RESULT FROM STALL AND UNCERTAIN WEATHER/FLOW CONDITIONS, OFTEN AT LOW ALTITUDES E.G., TAKEOFF/ LANDING. THE SENSOR SYSTEM: (1) USES A ROBUST TRANSDUCTION MECHANISM, (2) HAS A ONETIME LIFETIME CALIBRATION REQUIRING MINIMAL MAINTENANCE, (3) PROVIDES MONOTONIC OUTPUT WITH SPEED AND CIRCULATION, AND IS (4) RELATIVELY INSENSITIVE TO ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS SUCH AS FLIGHT ALTITUDE, PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE, AND DENSITY. THIS TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES REALTIME OUTPUT FOR ENERGY STATE AWARENESS UNDER BOTH NOMINAL AND OFFNOMINAL FLIGHT CONDITIONS
