An aircraft lift transducer may include a vane, actuator, an LC circuit, and a processor. The vane may be positioned on the leading edge of a wing of the aircraft, where the angle defined by the chord of the wing and the vane changes when the aircraft angle of attack changes. The actuator may be associated with the vane and change position when the angle defined by the vane and the chord changes. The LC circuit may include an induction coil spaced from the actuator and an oscillator. The oscillation frequency of the LC circuit may change when the position of the actuator changes. The processor may receive the change in the oscillation frequency and may determine a corresponding change in an available lift of the aircraft.
