CUAV SKYE 2 Airspeed Sensor Intelligent De-icing Heating
The industry’s first intelligent airspeed meter with de-icing and drainage functions is the CUAV SKYE 2 Airspeed Sensor. It integrates an ARM M4 processor, pitot tube, airspeed sensor, temperature & humidity sensor, and dual temperature compensation system.
SKYE 2 uses a new M4C intelligent heating strategy and drainage holes. It melts ice and drains water to prevent measurement errors. This airspeed sensor delivers low temperature drift and strong vibration resistance, working reliably in cold, foggy and rainy conditions. Its updated linear structure reduces wind drag. It uses the DroneCAN protocol and supports ArduPilot and other open-source flight stacks for unmanned systems.
