Something as safe as a plane could suffer strong consequences if wind was not tracked. Knowing exact weather conditions for take-off and landing operations is necessary. Whether you want to measure wind at an airport or fly your private drone, you need to track wind speed and direction to ensure safety and a great flight.

The wind meters from Calypso Instruments by measuring wind conditions in real time provide a perfect solution for those involved in aviation. Our Ultrasonic Portable wind sensor gives accurate and reliable data about the wind speed and direction, allowing the user to connect it via bluetooth to their phone or GARMIN watch with a free app which is perfect for drones. The Ultra Low Power wired range gives reliable information allowing the user to connect it to a data logger and display or send information to the cloud.  Its robustness and improved rain performance design makes it a great device to withstand extreme weather conditions.  

AIRPORTS

Measuring wind speed and direction, among other environmental factors, is determinant at airports to make important decisions about taking off and landing. Plane operations can be dangerous if wind is not tracked. Wind data is measured to inform pilots and to guarantee a safe environment both inside the plane and in the airport.

 Windy conditions affect the lift, deceleration and overall stability of the plane. Anemometers provide accurate and reliable data in real time about the speed and direction of the wind, to ensure safety, protection and successful airplane operations. 

UAV AND DRONES

Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) can be dangerous if they are not under control. Measuring wind speed and direction is crucial to determine the right moment to fly a drone, ensuring safety to everyone around.

Expensive drones and aviation devices can suffer irreparable damages by strong and uncontrolled winds. Tracking wind speed and direction will avoid unnecessary and costly impairments to your devices.
