FlightGuardian.
Aircraft health should
affect flight decisions.

FlightGuardian is envisioned as a future aircraft-health and mission-awareness system derived from Kyte X4 research. Its principle: monitoring is not enough. Monitoring should change what the aircraft is willing to do.

CHAPTER 01
— Potential monitored signals

What FlightGuardian would listen to.

SIG.01

Vibration

Spectrum tells you what's rotating and how badly.

SIG.02

RPM

Command vs actual. Response time. Overshoot.

SIG.03

Current

Instant and integrated. Stall detection.

SIG.04

Voltage

Sag under load. Recovery. Cell balance.

SIG.05

Temperature

Motor, ESC, pack. Trend more than absolute.

SIG.06

Battery internals

Impedance behaviour · state-of-health markers.

SIG.07

Sensor consistency

Cross-check. When one sensor lies, the others notice.

SIG.08

Flight-model residuals

Model says X. Aircraft did Y. Y − X is a diagnostic.

CHAPTER 02
— The reasoning chain

Not just detect.
Diagnose, then decide.

01
Aircraft data
Live multi-signal telemetry.
02
Expected behaviour
Model prediction under current conditions.
03
Anomaly detection
Statistical + physics-based flags.
04
Probable condition
Most likely explanation among 8+ candidates.
05
Updated capability
What the mission plan is still allowed to be.
— Key principle

Health monitoring should not
end with "fault detected."

It should help answer
"what can this aircraft
safely do now?"

Read the foundational research.

FlightGuardian is not a today-technology. It grows out of the residual-analysis work planned in Kyte X4. To understand where it comes from, start there.
