Airspeed to 550 km/h
Measures dynamic pressure across the full UAV envelope — accurate readings from loiter speed up to 550 km/h.
Sensors
WindCore CAN
SKU · AAD-WINDCORE-CAN · CAN Airspeed module
A digital CAN airspeed sensor for fixed-wing and VTOL UAVs — immune to electromagnetic noise from the power system. It feeds the autopilot clean airspeed data to prevent critical stalls and hold flight efficiency, where analog sensors are swamped by noise.
Key Advantage
A digital CAN interface immune to electromagnetic noise from UAV power systems — reliable airspeed data where analog sensors are swamped by noise.
Highlights
Core specs and the features that set WindCore CAN apart on the airframe.
- up to 550 km/h
- MS5525 · DLVR
- DroneCAN
- 5V or 9–34V
- Heated
MS5525 / DLVR Options
Two sensor variants — MS5525 or DLVR-L10/L60 — to match the airframe's speed range and pressure resolution.
DroneCAN Digital Link
Pure digital CAN telemetry to the autopilot — no analog ADC line to pick up motor and power-system noise.
Heated Pitot
Integrated heating module clears icing and condensation, keeping the pitot accurate in cold, humid air.
