The cost of replacing all Pitots on a worldwide fleet of planes is hardly major: For Air France, a full speed-sensor overhaul on its A330-A340 fleet would cost around $222,000, according to AP ...

In the circuit, Q1 plays the role of self-heated sensor. Its Vbe tempco converts temperature into voltage which is then offset and scaled by A2 to a 5 V span. Meanwhile 200 mV reference A1 regulates ...

Inertial Labs has integrated the FT Technologies FT743-D-SM Acoustic Resonance air speed sensor into its inertial navigation systems (INS). This integration aims to improve the accuracy of horizontal ...

Figure 1 GO/NOGO thermal low speed airflow sensor, ON/OFF airspeed threshold is set by R4. Figure 2 Linearized battery powered low speed thermal anemometer. The airspeed measured by any anemometer is ...

In what they are claiming is “an aviation first”, British scientists at BAE Systems, Chelmsford, UK, have successfully trialled a highly accurate laser-based airspeed sensor, which is designed for use ...

The Laser Air Speed Sensing Instrument (LASSI) which is being exhibited at this year’s Farnborough International Airshow sets itself apart from conventional methods as it accurately measures velocity ...
