  • Ideal for operations in low and no-visibility environments

OAV-Sensor-w-2-heads-down.png

The WindSceptor® OAV measures three-dimensional components of the air velocity relative to an aircraft in the aircraft reference frame. True Airspeed (TAS), True Angle of Attack (AoA), and True Angle of Sideslip (AoS) over the full flight envelope of rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft can be computed from these components. The increased accuracy and timeliness of the OAV provides increased flight envelopes, enhanced safety margins, improved utility, and aircraft availability while reducing maintenance costs and increasing dispatch reliability.
