Abstract
A flight control system for an aircraft is disclosed. The flight control system includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processors. The memory stores data comprising a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the flight control system to receive as input a plurality of first operating parameters that each represent an operating condition of the aircraft. The flight control system is further caused to determine a drag coefficient and a lift coefficient based on the plurality of first operating parameters. The flight control system is also caused to determine an estimated dynamic pressure based on both the drag coefficient and the lift coefficient.
