Oh wow i never thought about that and the best thing is i can even share that with other people
Damnn thats a good idea thanks for bringing it up man !!
You're not hijacking it, just adding some contextual information, namely: "Strength requirements are specified in terms of limit loads (the maximum loads to be expected in service) and ultimate loads (limit loads multiplied by prescribed factors of safety). Unless otherwise provided, prescribed loads are limit loads."
Off the top of my head, there are at least two more potential ways of measuring AoA:
1. Similar to your ultrasonic lattice, but using a cone of hot wire anemometers, so that each wire is set at an offset angle to the 'zero' direction. As the AoA changes relative to the cone, the resistance on the different hot wires changes (some wires become more perpendicular to the freestream, thus cooler; others will align closer to the freestream with less opportunity to cool). By measuring the resistance differences with a bridge, it's possible to derive, angle of attack, sideslip and airspeed.
2. An elliptical body with various pressure ports around the circumference, plus a pitot port. The angle of the flow can be measured by the difference in pressure between the circumference ports (and dividing by the pitot pressure).
> From my laymans POV, DNA is just a shit ton of variables in a very complex code that interact with each other. No single point just does a single thing. They all interact with each other. No different than changing a variable in one piece of code and having it create a bug in another that was previously working.
Drew Endy did a lecture this a while ago. It's from one of the chaos computer club seminars.
