Abstract
A system includes an air data computer (ADC) having a single pneumatic port for receiving a pneumatic input, a plurality of electrical inputs for receiving one or more electrical signals, and an output. The ADC can transmit, via the output, air data parameters based on the received pneumatic input and the received one or more electrical signals. In a further example embodiment, the system includes a first pressure sensing probe discrete from the ADC and a pneumatic connection joining a pressure sensing port of the first probe to the pneumatic input of the ADC. Second and third pressure sensing probes pneumatically coupled to respective pressure modules, which output electrical signals to the ADC, the electrical signals being representative of pressures sensed by the second and third pressure sensing probes, respectively.
