A Good Pressure Scanner is Your Safeguard in Flight Optimization

In the challenging domain of flow dynamics, researchers have developed a large amount of advanced tools to work things out. In this measurement device system body, the pressure scanner is something like the central nervous system. Every other component ‘reports’ to it, centralizing aerodynamic data and flight statistics. Following and exemplifying this attribute as much as possible, we at Windtuner send a strong innovative signal with our latest generation of Ethernet Intelligent Pressure Scanner. High-tech industries, such as turbomachinery testing institutions with a long history, or the rapidly expanding new section of flight: The low-altitude economy, will benefit from the effort we have put into this compact device. As aerospace engineers pioneer the future of flight, they need by their side the instrument that consistently delivers data integrity, a critical factor we bring to our clients.

Redefining Air Data Acquisition

Dynamic airflows and rapidly changing atmospheric conditions require flawless air data acquisition, a challenge that intensifies within the congested environment of the low-altitude economy. Accurate measurement stands as the absolute prerequisite for any aircraft preparation phase: Who dares to entrust autonomous flight without safe data to support it? That’s why Windtuner pressure scanners comes as a sophisticated flow field measurement and control system, one indispensable for achieving aerodynamic validation. It’s a boxed recording specialist of raw pneumatic signals, and we give you the high quality pressure parameters that help you make real-time and tangible judgement on how your experimental flight vehicles should next evolve.

Fueling the Next Generation of Aerodynamic Research

The contemporary aerodynamic landscape(by that I mean urban skyscrapers and crowded streets) demands flow field measurement and control systems capable of handling considerable complexity. From the turbulence behind an aircraft’s control surface, to the airflow and heat waves inside a gas engine, the dynamic nature of flow requires sensor channels that acquire and report data with unparalleled speed and stability. Windtuner pressure scanners has 16 of these. Forming a sophisticated testing network, researchers and design engineers can use our equipment to run experiments with complete confidence. In critical applications, such as 1.5-Stage axial compressor tests or small gas turbine performance evaluations, few products still have the grace to collect high-frequency pressure, flow velocity, and flow direction data as they normally do. We tackle this obstacle by providing systems that adapt directly to the most stringent testing requirements of various test models, making fundamental research and product validation significantly more efficient.

The escalating growth in both American and Asian low-altitude economies further motivates our intention to improve aerial measurement equipment. We’ve all seen a large increase in the number of UAVs and drones in many places throughout everyday life, haven’t we? As governments announce policies to strengthen this growth engine across technologically leading regions, the business to develop safe, autonomous aircraft is growing. Urban flow field conditions are much more complicated than common flights. That’s why systems must rely on relevant acquisition devices to navigate several unstable parameters like air density and turbulence. Windtuner has successfully implemented its years of aerodynamic expertise into creating pressure scanner and differential airspeed probe solutions applicable to this new challenge. Our technology guides the limitless growth of intelligent flight, regardless of the aircraft’s size or complexity.

The Technical Edge of the Windtuner Pressure Scanner

Windtuner pressure scanners collect and process vast amounts of air data with unmatched stability. Its core technology would be a powerful 500Hz sampling rate, translating directly to 500 distinct pressure readings every single second per channel, a rate fast enough to easily capture extremely subtle pressure variations in complex flow fields. High-frequency acquisition is even more essential during dense or low-speed flights, as it can avoid most loss of critical transient data. We successfully joined this with 24-bit A/D conversion and IEEE1588V2 time synchronization functions, forming a data combination that is perfectly time-aligned across all measurement points. This makes summing up data and concluding experiment information a very efficient and light-weighted task.

Consolidating Our Mutual Trust with Global Researchers

As we continue to expand into American and European markets, Windtuner never loosens our commitment to quality. We know it is the secret formula to gaining valuable trust from our dear clients. Every Windtuner pressure scanner or probe undergoes rigorous calibration at our three professional Wind Tunnel Laboratories. Every client deserves to have his tool stringently calibrated before he receives it. We are confident and also extremely proud of the fact that our clients have trust in our measurement instruments. As we all know, an accurate pressure scanner opens the door to the future of advanced aerodynamics, as much as it opens opportunities for us and our partners.
