You were asking for sensors for your glass display.  The AOA Professional

is an angle-of-attack instrument that also has a RS-232 port and outputs

airspeed, wing loading and AOA every 1/10 of a second.  Contact me at

angle-of-attack.com for more information.

Graham Nutt asks about state-of-the-art attitude and related sensors to

support his glass cockpit. Saw a very clever GPS-based system demonstrated on

a non-flying model at Oshkosh this summer. They used very inexpensive rate

sensors to measure acceleration in all axes, and the GPS to buffer and

stabilize the rate sensors. Used the integrated output to drive flat panel

cockpit displays. As they say at the computer shows, "It gave good demo!"



Unfortunately, have lost the reference/contact info during our move last

month. It will show up, but this is the best I can do for now.  If anyone

knows the outfit doing this work, I'd appreciate a contact as well.
