How will the aircraft react in the case of a single pitot tube failure?

In the event of a single pitot tube failure, the aircraft is designed to maintain a level of operational capability, allowing it to fly normally despite the loss of one pitot tube's data. The MQ-9 systems incorporate redundancy measures, which means that even if one pitot tube fails, the other systems and sensors are expected to compensate for the lost data.

In this scenario, mid-level voting from the remaining sensors can still provide adequate data for safe flight operations. The aircraft's flight control systems are built to handle the failure of a single sensor without leading to a complete loss of control, which would pose a significant safety risk. Therefore, the phrase "fly normally with mid-level voting continuing" underscores the aircraft’s ability to adapt and function despite a single point of failure, ensuring safety and operational integrity. This design is crucial in maintaining flight stability and allowing for continued mission execution without abrupt changes or emergency maneuvers.
