Question

Air data measurements in hypersonic flight provide primary flight control parameters.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in unit test.

Question is taken from Helicopter, Optical and Hyper Sonic Air Data in chapter Air Data Systems, Altitude and Heading Reference of Avionics

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

Explanation: Air data measurements in hypersonic flight do not provide any primary flight control parameters. They usually support aerodynamic research to confirm structural loading and aero thermal models.
