Utilizing the principle of the Venturi effect with a differential pressure sensor for accurate airspeed measurement, this device is also equipped with an integrated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The unique design and features of TFSLOT01 solve common issues associated with Pitot tubes, offering a robust solution for aerial applications. TFSLOT01 features - High Resolution at low airspeeds (below 10 m/s) - Configurable Sensitivity by modifying the airfoil profile - Reduced Susceptibility to Clogging , for instance, by mud or snow upon landing - Weatherproof , it can be used in various conditions - Direct Differential Pressure Sensor Integration without the need for additional tubing - Possibility of Direct Integration into the drone's mechanical structure - Open Design making the design documentation accessible - Integrated IMU Unit for measuring vibrations, angle of attack, and more How It Works? The TFSLOT01 sensor uses the Venturi effect to measure airspeed, allowing precise tracking of airspeed even at low speeds. Air at a certain airspeed enters through an opening between two precisely defined airfoil profiles. As the depth within the sensor increases, the effective cross-section area decreases. Since the same volume of air must pass through a smaller cross-section, the flow velocity inside the sensor increases.
