Accurate flight-test air data measurements are now easy to obtain and more affordable by using a line of durable and flexible air data products from SpaceAge Control, The company announced a complete line of products to measure angle of attack, sideslip, static pressure, and total head pressure in flight-test environments.

Applications include a broad range of flightcraft including military fighter, attack, and cargo aircraft; commercial aircraft; trainers; drones/RPVs/UAVs; helicopters; racing aircraft; and general aviation aircraft.

The air data product line includes 4 products: Mini Air Data Boom (100400) - miniature size for drone, RPV, and light aircraft use; Straight-Nose Air Data Boom (100600/100700) - full size for a broad range of commercial, military, and research aircraft; Swivel-Head Air Data Boom (100510) - similar to the Straight- Nose Air Data Boom except static and total head pressures are obtained from a gimbal-mounted, weather-vane nose that swivels 21deg in any direction (gives pressure readings at pitch or yaw values of 30deg or less and air speeds of 25 to 200 knots with +/-0.5% accuracy; particularly useful for helicopter and VSTOL aircraft); and Trailing Bomb (100800) - Gives propwash and related air data for helicopters, STOL, and VTOL aircraft.

All products are constructed from machined aluminum, stainless steel, and brass.
