Brand new concept in aerodynamic measurement

The result of 4 years of development by former Formula One aerodynamicists, using patented aerodynamic probe technology¹ to measure wind speed and yaw angle with an accuracy 10-20 times better than traditional multi-hole pitot tubes. The aerosensor 3D probe enables measurement of airflow pitch and yaw angle, static, dynamic, and total pressure. The probe is laser sintered from either steel or titanium, with a hollow internal structure resulting in a highly robust but very light device.

Our probes are being used by multiple Formula One, WRC and Indycar teams in 2022.

¹Probe design patented in the UK, US and Japan; pending in Europe.
