Development of an Air Data System with MEMS Sensors

초록

In this paper, a Pitot tube and measuring circuit design, calibration and evaluation procedures are studied to check the feasibility of air data system using MEMS pressure sensors. All these design was implemented on a circuit board with size of 58 x 80 mm with power and data bus connectors. The weight of the ADS is only 25 grams. Developed ADS was tested on the target drone UAV and used to enhance speed performance of the target drone. Various modifications were suggested and each modified configurations are test with the developed air data system to evaluate the effectiveness of the modifications.
