The A-10 has a lift transducer on its left wing. What system needs a lift
calculation? Is it used to program the slats in or out?

possibly for the Stability Augmentation System.

Or, perhaps, as sensor for the stall warning system? (as in the DC-8).

Cheers.

Those functions usually come from AOA. Since I started this thread it occured
to me slats are also an AOA function.

Maybe it's just there for people like me to ask about.
