<p>An aircraft structural component (13) which during flight of the aircraft produces over a predetermined frontal region (22) thereof aerodynamic pressures thereon which vary in a predetermined manner in response to predetermined variations in an aerodynamic state or states of the aircraft includes an aerodynamic pressure sensor system comprising a sensor array (25) of pressure sensitive elements (26) which occupy predetermined locations in the frontal region and each of which generates an output signal representative of the aerodynamic pressure at the location and signal generating means responsive to the output signals to generate by reference to the aerodynamic pressures which the output signals represent a condition signal or signals representing variations in the aerodynamic state or one or more of the aerodynamic states of the aircraft. The sensor systems are included in wing and tail fin structures.</p> |
