The Invention comprises methods and apparatus for three-dimensional flight control based generally upon measuring and comparing air pressures at or near various surfaces of an aircraft during flight operations. Inclusive in the invention, are methods and apparatus for sensing and comparing air pressure differentials between two or more sensors to evaluate certain critical flight parameters, such as the actual lift being produced, the air direction and speed relative to the aircraft, air density, aircraft position, and trajectory. The comparative data can provide an enormous amount of information about the present flight conditions and performance of the aircraft, such as whether there is ice formed or forming on the wings, the direction and approach of wind shear, whether a stall is approaching, etc. The information can be evaluated by a computer, the aircraft's automatic flight control system ("AFCS") or flight crew so that appropriate flight control measures can be taken.
