An angle of attack sensor includes a mounting plate (68); a vane (12) supported from the mounting plate and extending from a first side of the mounting plate, wherein the vane is rotatable about a vane axis; a housing (36) extending from a second side of the mounting plate in a direction opposite to the vane; a resolver (64) coupled to the vane; and an electronics module (72) mounted within the housing, the electronics module comprising: at least one processor (88); a communication device (92); and computer-readable memory (90), encoded with instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronics module to: receive, from the resolver, a signal indicative of an angular position of the vane about the vane axis; compare the signal to a first damage criterion; and output, using the communication device, a first fault signal to a consuming system of an aircraft that is indicative of a damage event based on a comparison of the signal to the first damage criterion..
