Abstract
A system for an aircraft includes a pneumatic sensor, an optical sensor, and a computer system. The pneumatic sensor is configured to sense a value external to the aircraft. The optical sensor is configured to emit an optical signal external to the aircraft and receive an optical response. The computer system is configured to receive the value and the optical response. The pneumatic sensor and the optical sensor do not extend beyond a boundary layer of the aircraft.
