The role of Ethernet Intelligent Pressure Scanners in aircraft support tests

15  Jul  2025

Ethernet Intelligent Pressure Scanners
With the continuous advancement of aerospace technology, the process of designing, manufacturing and testing aircraft has become more and more complex. Especially in aircraft support tests, it is critical to ensure that all systems and components can work properly under extreme conditions. Among them, pressure measurement is an important index to evaluate the performance of aircraft, and its accuracy directly affects the safety and reliability of the entire flight mission. Ethernet Intelligent Pressure Scanners can play an important role in this process.

Taking the wind tunnel test of a certain type of stealth fighter as an example, more than 800 pressure measuring points need to be deployed on the wing surface, and the manual switching system takes more than 72 hours, and the data error rate is as high as 3%. Among them, pressure measurement is an important index to evaluate the performance of aircraft, and its accuracy directly affects the safety and reliability of the entire flight mission.

 Importance of
Ethernet Intelligent Pressure Scanners: During the development and testing phase of aircraft, pressure data is an important parameter to measure engine efficiency, aerodynamic performance and structural integrity. Traditional pressure measurement methods often rely on a single pressure sensor or manually switch multiple sensors for multi-point monitoring. This method is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also difficult to ensure the consistency and accuracy of data.
In contrast, WindtunerEthernet Intelligent Pressure Scanners enables simultaneous monitoring of multiple pressure points through multiple technical advantages, and can quickly and accurately collect large amounts of data.
