Miniature Heated Pitot-Static Probe from UAV Factory

UAV Factory

has developed a miniature heated Pitot-Static probe, intended to expand the operational envelope of its Penguin B UAS.

The probe is optimized for small unmanned aircraft and is claimed to be the lightest and most power efficient commercially available probe.

The combined dynamic and static port heating system is fully integrated into the tube, which allows for minimal power consumption. An on-board feedback controller continuously regulates the temperature of the probe and automatically switches off the heating element when the required temperature is reached.
