C-Probe

 C-Probe는 경기나 크로스컨트리 비행에있어서 아주 중요하고 정확한 데이터를 제공하는 센서 입니다.

비행중의 바람이나 속도의 계산은 사실 추측일 것이고, C-Probe는 민감한 센서를 통하여 정확하게 측정하여 보여줍니다.

이 센서는 C-Pilot나 블루투스가 가능한 계기와 연동하여 사용하시면 됩니다.

Here are a few technical details about the C-Probe:

• Real Pitot tube, based on a differential pressure sensor with a resolution of 0.1 Pa.
• Three-axis gyroscope (measures up to 2000°/s).
• Three-axis accelerometer (up to 8 g per axis, with a resolution of 0.1 g).
• Gyroscope-stabilized magnetic compass (1° resolution).
• Thermometer (from -40°C to 80°C, 0.1° resolution).
• Hygrometer (from 0 to 100% RH, 0.1% resolution).
• High resolution absolute pressure sensor (10 cm).
• BlueToothTM and cabled serial connections.
• 30 hours battery life with BlueToothTM connection and 60 hours with serial connection.

All the data provided by these sensors can be displayed and further analyzed by our flight computers, to provide the pilot with a huge, and up to now unheard of, set of data. At present, our C-Pilot PRO can exploit the C-Probe to determine or implement the following:

• Wind speed and direction, even while flying straight.
• Instantaneous glide ratio, after calculating out horizontal air movements.
• True air speed (TAS).
• Total-energy-compensated variometer.

• Estimated cloud-base height.

Glide and speed-to-fly calculations can be performed with an extremely high accuracy and will allow the pilot to take the correct decisions and optimize his/her flight performance. As usual, other software features will be added in the future and will be made available for free to our customers.
