Look, they say it is not the size of your pitot tube that matters, it is the accuracy of your dynamic pressure data. But let’s be honest: at a massive 295mm overall length, yours is going to be visibly larger than the other pilots’ on the flightline, and we know that matters to you. Ego boosts aside, if you are flying medium or large composite wing UAVs, guessing true wind speed based on ground telemetry is a guaranteed recipe for an ArduPilot EKF failsafe.
This quick-detach UAV airspeed tube is machined from aerospace-grade alloy to handle the exact abuse commercial operations throw at it. Whether you are drowning in CAA paperwork or battling freezing UK rain, a precise pitot tube feeds your PX4 flight controller the critical telemetry needed to prevent stalls. We have 10 years of experience manufacturing commercial FPV systems, and we know firsthand that wing-stalling a 10k payload because of bad airflow data is a terrible look for your bottom line.
Because explaining a wind-induced stall to a surveying client is significantly harder than installing a proper sensor. This extended airspeed tube pushes the dynamic and static pressure ports way out into clean, undisturbed airproving that sometimes, extra length really does result in better performance.
This 7075 aluminum airspeed tube mounts to your fixed-wing or VTOL UAV using the standard 14mm mounting hole distance. You will need to route your own pneumatic tubing from the internal barbs through the wing to your digital airspeed sensor. Ensure the 240mm external section is positioned completely clear of propeller wash for accurate dynamic pressure readings. Please note, mounting hardware is not included with this item
