Description
Data reduction with an air-data probe requires no specialised
software and is simple enough to be performed in real-time by
an on-board computer or telemetry system. Unlike our conventional
probes, the air-data probes are limited to incidence angles of
about 20°, but feature a ring of static ports that eliminate
the need for a separate Pitot-static tube. They are more accurate
than conventional probes and provide a similar frequency response.
They can be heated internally for use on a high-altitude Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAV).
