Flow Vanes

SMV-1 & SMV-2

The Smart Miniature Vanes SMV-1 & SMV-2 are fully integrated wind-vane probes to measure angle of attack (AoA), angle of side-slip (AoS) and other airflow angles. The probes are the optimal solutions if precise airflow information is needed on unmanned aircraft (UAV), remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) and other flight vehicles. The SMV-1 provides calibrated absolute angular data on the RS-485 data interface, the SMV-2 on the RS-232 data interface.
