A system and method for analyzing physical parameters of flight data at a plurality of discrete locations about a surface of an aircraft includes a multisensor system having an array of belts. Each belt includes a plurality of interconnected belt segments including a substrate having an electrically conductive digital data bus, and at least one module having a first sensor, a second sensor and a digital signal processor, and a coating for protecting the belt segment. The first and second sensors, which are preferably formed as microelectromechanical sensors sharing a common substrate, respectively generate signals representative of a first physical parameter and a second physical parameter. The processor receives and analyzes the first and second signals to generate a third signal. The third signal is transmitted along the electrically-conductive bus to a remotely-located controller. The controller analyzes the third signal to obtain flight status information relating to the effect of the physical parameters on the flight.
