Built-in Barometer

Unlike many airspeed sensors on the market, this sensor takes a differential and an absolute pressure measurement. Allowing airspeed and altitude readings through one sensor.

Using the static port of a pitot tube allows reliable altitude measurements, avoiding issues with internal autopilot barometers which can be affected by internal fuselage pressure changes.

Good static pressure measurments will enable improved GPS denied operation over autopilot internal barometer hardware.

All Speeds Covered

Choose from the low, medium and high speed versions of the Air Data Module to get the right sensor for your use case, from slow flying all the way up to 193m/s.
