Description

Overview

The Air Data Computer (ADC) from Inertial Labs is an IP67 rated stand-alone device compatible with Inertial Labs’ complete line of high performing Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) and can be seamlessly integrated with other external sensors.

The ADC calculates and provides air data parameters including altitude, air speed, air density, outside air temperature (OAT), and wind speed for avionic applications. The ADC calculates the air data parameters from information received from the integrated pitot and static pressure sensors and an outside air temperature probe.

This compact device consumes less than 1 watt of power. Designed for the most demanding environments, it integrates total and static pressure sensors to calculate indicated airspeed accurately and stands out with its IP67 rating, ensuring it is fully sealed against environmental factors. It also supports aiding data from external GNSS receivers and ambient air data, enhancing its precision in various flight conditions.
