Claim 8:
9. A rotor-hub-flap anisotropic-sensor system comprising:
a plurality of anisotropic-sensor arrangements interoperably coupled to a rotor hub and operable to measure flapping of the rotor hub, each of the plurality of anisotropic-sensor arrangements comprising:
a magnet;
a first anisotropic sensor interoperably coupled to the magnet; and
a second anisotropic sensor interoperably coupled to the magnet; and

at least one flight control computer interoperably coupled to the plurality of anisotropic-sensor arrangements;
wherein:
the magnet is a first magnet having a first side and a second side;
the first anisotropic sensor is arranged on the second side of the first magnet;
each of the plurality of anisotropic-sensor arrangements comprises a second magnet arranged on a side of the first anisotropic sensor opposite the first magnet; and
the second anisotropic sensor is arranged on a side of the second magnet opposite the first anisotropic sensor.
