1 In-flight demonstration of a LiDAR based Air Data System DANIELA project 5B1 Thales Avionics Xavier LACONDEMINE Teem Photonics Denis BARBIER Grant Agreement n

2 Context A current typical Air Data System is composed of external probes and pressure sensors. It delivers parameters such as airspeed, angle of attack and altitude. Even if such a system provides sufficient accuracy with high level of safety, it suffers from lack of robustness against bird collision, passenger stairs mishandling or hailstone. In addition, externally mounted probes are exposed to corrosion and require maintenance. How to withstand such event? Probe blocked by a mason bee nest Probes heating for anti-icing operation requires a lot of energy 2

Detection Use of IR laser, Mie backscattering on atmospheric aerosols 1.5 µm CW <1W (Telecom market) Very Short Range <1m 3D airspeed measurement LiDAR=Light Detection And Ranging 3

4 Benefits What are the benefits of an Optical Air Data System? Independent failure modes Safety with respect to conventional ADS Flush, Fully static Reliability Maintenance costs No need for anti-icing Power consumption Remote measurement Local airfield compensation (SSEC) Multi-function (TAS, AOA, SSA) Integration Technological breakthrough Challenges: A new technique to be certified Innovation, EU technology Variabiliy of wind tracers concentration and distribution 4

5 DANIELA Objectives The project addresses the overall Optical ADS functions: InfraRed 3D Anemometry True Air Speed, Angle of Attack, Side Slip Angle Study of the atmosphere aerosol content for certification aspects and specification Technology improvement (glass integrated optics, smart heterodyne detector, window coatings) Development of LiDAR mock-up (including real-time signal processing) In-flight assessment of the mock-up in extreme atmospheric adverse conditions Longer term Optical ADS function Temperature, Density Validation of air temperature measurement concept (UV, IR) Bibliographic survey on air density.
