Abstract
A method for sensing a force applied to an aircraft includes receiving a derivative of the acceleration of a motion of a portion of the aircraft, determining whether the derivative of the acceleration of the motion of the portion of the aircraft exceeds a threshold, and outputting an indication that a force has been applied to the portion of the aircraft responsive to determining that the derivative of the acceleration of motion of the portion of the aircraft exceeds the threshold.
