Aeroprobe introduced the Micro Air Data Computer, which is the smallest most versatile air data computer for small, lightweight, unmanned aerial systems. When attached to an air data probe, this air data system calculates angle of attack, angle of sideslip, and air speed. These measurements can be streamed real-time to a flight controller or stored on an onboard SD card. Aeroprobe's involvement at the Paris Air Show demonstrates its commitment to establishing a global presence in the aerospace industry. The company conducts international business through a network of over 20 distributors.
The Paris Air Show began in 1909 as a place for aviation enthusiasts to display their innovations in "aerial locomotion." In 1909, 380 exhibitors showcased their new products over a span of 23 days. In the years since, the Paris Air Show has become the aerospace show of the year, hosting more than 2200 exhibitors and 176,000 visitors.
Aeroprobe provides air data measurement systems to aerospace, automotive, turbomachinery, wind turbine, and wind tunnel testing industries around the world. Aeroprobe's air data systems for unmanned aircraft provide real time air speed, angle of attack and angle of sideslip for improved flight performance. Turnkey systems include instrumentation for measurement, hardware for data collection, and software for data reduction, analysis and visualization. High temperature probes operate in flows up to 1200°C. Omniprobes, featuring a 300° flow angle range, are capable of measuring reversed flow. Fast response probes provide a frequency response exceeding 4 KHz. Rake configurations allow for simultaneous multi-point, unsteady measurements.
