Default A-10 lift transducer

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?

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

Cheers.

snip

Although I'm not familiar with the A-10 but from the name it seems the
sensor measures force on the wing, just like many other structural strain
sensors which collect data to be analyzed later from the standpoint of
structural integrity...

Interesting idea. I used to work on life history recorder systems and never
came across such a thing. I will see what I can find on this. Thanks for the
suggestion.
