Abstract
One example of an aircraft tail strike detection and prevention system can include one or more processors that obtain one or more aircraft characteristics representative of an aircraft flying toward a landing location and one or more external characteristics representative of one or more conditions outside of the aircraft. The one or more processors can obtain a current descent trajectory that the aircraft is to follow to land at the landing location and calculate a probability that the aircraft will experience a tail strike upon touchdown based on the one or more aircraft characteristics and the one or more external characteristics. The one or more processors can alert a pilot of the aircraft that the aircraft will experience the tail strike upon touchdown based on the probability.
