A set of aircraft air data parameter outputs is generated based on laser sensor data and inertial sensor data. Directional light is emitted in one or more directions into air about an exterior of an aircraft, and returns of the emitted directional light in the one or more directions is sensed. Laser sensor data representing velocity of the aircraft in the one or more directions, static pressure of the air, and static air temperature of the air is generated based on the sensed returns. Acceleration and rotational rate of the aircraft is sensed in three axes. The set of aircraft air data parameter outputs is generated based on the laser sensor data and the inertial sensor data. The set of aircraft air data parameter outputs includes aircraft static air pressure, aircraft static air temperature, aircraft true airspeed, aircraft angle of attack, and aircraft angle of sideslip.
