An aircraft airflow sensor probe includes an airflow assembly or a cone assembly configured to sense a direction of local airflow outside an aircraft; a shaft configured to rotatably hold the assembly and allow rotational movement of the assembly; and a motor connected to the shaft and configured to generate a torque to damp the rotational movement of the shaft as well as the assembly. The sensor probe further includes an angle of attack processor configured to control the motor to generate the torque to damp the rotational movement of the shaft as well as the assembly and a sensor configured to sense a position of the assembly and provide the position of the assembly to the angle of attack processor. An aircraft airflow sensor process is disclosed as well.
