101100 Subminiature Air Data Boom (Pt, Ps, AoA, AoS)

In 1989, SpaceAge Control produced the world's smalled multi-functional air data boom. As the UAV market developed, the need for even smaller air data booms arose. To meet this need, SpaceAge Control developed the 101100 subminiature air data boom offering total pressure (Pt), static pressure (Ps), angle of attack (AoA), and angle of sideslip (AoS) measurement. Optionally, air temperature measurement is available.

Two 101100-XX subminiature air data booms mounted on the wingtips of NASA's S2 aircraft.
