UAV Displacement Sensors Guide Now Available

Free, Illustrated, 9-Page Document Helps to Reduce UAV Cost

PALMDALE, CALIFORNIA USA -- Designers and test professionals can better understand how to specify displacement sensors for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by reviewing a new guide available at no charge. The UAV Displacement Sensors guide, 9 pages in length, enables engineers and technicians to evaluate the system requirements and technology choices associated with selecting displacement sensors for UAVs. The sensor evalation process for UAVs is contrasted to that for manned aircraft.

The guide looks at the displacement sensor applications in aircraft including flight controls, landing ger, environmental control systems, and bay doors. The differences in displacement sensor requirements for manned and unmanned aircraft are explored including mass, MTBF, ease of use, and cost. The guides review sthe total cost of ownership of a generic displacement sensor. The conclusion will be a comparison of various displacement sensor types in regards to capabilities and total cost of ownership. The reader will come away with an understanding of the tradeoffs between cost and performance as related to displacement sensors.

SpaceAge Control's UAV Displacement Sensors: Reducing Cost of Ownership gives casual and expert aerospace observers information to select the optimum displacement sensor for UAV projects. The guide is available for viewing and download at http://spaceagecontrol.com/s085a.htm. To publish the Guide, contact SpaceAge Control for more information.
