Air Data Systems
Integrated sensing for the flight parameters pilots and aircraft systems depend on.
System Details
AMETEK Sensors & Fluid Management Systems (SFMS) supplies air data sensing and computing technologies that provide altitude, airspeed, rate of climb, temperature, and pressure information to pilots and flight-management systems.
- Airspeed, altitude, rate-of-climb, temperature, pressure.
- Sensor, probe, module, computer, and stall-warning capabilities
- Integrated options that consolidate traditionally separate measurements
- Configurations for commercial, military, business, regional, rotorcraft, and UAV platforms
Accurate air data begins at the sensing surface and continues through signal conditioning and computation. SFMS combines aerodynamic probe design, pressure and temperature sensing, environmental qualification, wind-tunnel evaluation, software, electronics, and system integration to support reliable flight information across the operating envelope.
