This paper discusses a flush air-data sensing (FADS) system for a sharp-nosed hypersonic vehicle designed to estimate flight air data in real time at hypersonic speeds. The design’s target condition is Mach 5.0 to 7.0 with an angle of attack within 5 deg. The FADS system estimates air data by relating them to surface pressures measured from surface-mounted ports on the vehicle forebody. Unique combinations of pressure ratios were used to estimate the freestream dynamic pressure, which was a primary parameter for the flight experiment, the angle of attack, and the Mach number. The proposed FADS estimation algorithm was validated through numerical simulation, which was also used to generate datasets of surface pressures for given flight conditions. To handle possible sensor errors related to estimation accuracy in real-time estimation for a flight experiment, redundant systems were implemented. The results indicated that the designed FADS system can estimate air data within the uncertainty of 4.8% for a single estimator by considering sensor errors for freestream dynamic pressures in the range of 0–100 kPa, including targeted and off-design flight conditions. The proposed algorithm can estimate the air data with an acceptable level of uncertainty while retaining the robustness of estimation to sensor failures with low computational cost.
