Two wind tunnel tests were conducted in the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel to calibrate the nose-mounted air data probe for the X-59. The probe will be the primary instrument for the flight test of the X-59 for determining angle of attack, angle of sideslip, airspeed, and pressure altitude of the aircraft in flight. This paper documents the development of several neural net algorithms that can be used to relate air data probe port pressures from those tests to relevant X-59 flight parameters, such as angle of attack, angle of sideslip, mach number, and static and dynamic pressure. These calibration algorithms address accuracy effects for significant real-world conditions, such as initial sensor measurement uncertainties, assumed parameter constraints on NN modelling errors, and malfunctioning or plugged ports. Resultant integrated uncertainties are provided for each algorithm; these uncertainties are then used to estimate the effects on relevant X-59 mission parameters.
