Ethernet Intelligent Pressure Scanners
The airspeed tube, as an important sensor for measuring key parameters such as airspeed and air pressure altitude of aircraft in the aviation field, its performance directly affects flight safety and the accuracy of flight data. With the continuous development of aviation technology and the increasing diversity of flight demands, customized airspeed tubes have gradually become a trend. Compared with standardized airspeed tubes, customized airspeed tubes have some significant advantages.

Each aircraft has its unique aerodynamic shape, flight envelope and performance characteristics. Customized airspeed tubes can be designed specifically according to these characteristics of particular aircraft. For instance, for high-speed aircraft, the external air flow environment is complex. Customized airspeed tubes can adopt special shapes and materials to reduce air flow interference and resistance, ensuring accurate measurement of airspeed even during high-speed flight.

For small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), due to their limited space, custom-made airspeed tubes can reduce their size and optimize the installation method while ensuring measurement accuracy, enabling them to perfectly adapt to the compact structure of the UAV without negatively affecting the overall performance of the aircraft.

Customized airspeed tubes can design the probe structure and pressure distribution in a targeted manner according to the characteristics of the aircraft. The five-hole differential pressure airvelocity tube captures multi-directional airflow information through five pressure holes distributed on the hemispherical probe, and converts it into attack Angle, sideslip Angle and dynamic and static pressure data through the calibration system. Customized design can optimize the Angle of the pressure holes and the operation channels based on the formation of the aircraft, the distribution of the wind field and the actual installation location, making the data more accurate.

Customized services can fully cope with special environments and actual risks. In aircraft test scenarios with high-risk tendencies such as high temperature and cold, strong dynamic vibrations, or real-time changes in the Angle of attack, especially in the calibration wind tunnel laboratory that meets the CNAS accreditation standards through Windtuner technology, full-range calibration of the airspeed tube can be carried out. Ensure the data reliability of it in various special flow field environments.

The greatest advantage of custom airspeed tubes lies in their flexibility in system integration and communication protocols. The customized system can preset sensor integration solutions based on the requirements of the flight control intelligent unit and data platform, and customize electrical interfaces, communication protocols, and data formats to achieve plug-and-play in actual engineering. It can also be used for line sensing and precision adjustment, allowing users to conveniently switch between different application methods to cope with various types of flight platforms or data analysis systems.

Windtuner Technology's five-hole differential pressure airspeed tube customization service can provide customers with full-chain customization support, offering an overall solution for aircraft test projects in terms of data accuracy, process reliability, system compatibility and operational convenience.
