ADS-9

The ADS-9 is a miniature multi-function air data system for small flight vehicle. The ADS-9 measures airspeed, altitude, angle of attack (AoA), angle of bank (AoS) and outside air temperature (OAT). All values are fully calibrated and aerodynamically corrected. Derived parameters like pressure altitude, true airspeed, Mach number and static temperature are supplied as well.

The individually calibrated silicon based pressure sensors enable the measurement of very accurate and fast air data over the full temperature range of -55°C to +80°C at a rate of up to 200 Hz.

Typical Application

• Air Data Measurement
• Flight Testing
• UAV, Drones
• VTOL, Rotary Wing UAV
• Wind-tunnel Measurement

Key Features

• Small, lightweight, low-power, robust, no moving parts
• Silicon pressure sensors with high accuracy and low drift
• Fully temperature compensated from -55°C .. +80°C (power up above -40°C)
• Outputs fully calibrated air data at up to 200Hz with very low transport delay
• RS-485 full-duplex data interface, suitable for use in high-noise environments on long cables
• EMI/EMC optimized aluminum box
• Compatible with Swiss Air Data line of Air Data Systems
• Easy configuration of data-labels, output rate, baud-rate over the maintenance software
• Compared to vane-type airflow angle measurement there is no friction and no overshoot
