AERO INSTRUMENTS® Company, now part of AEROCONTROLEX® Group, Inc., has been a supplier of Air Data Sensors for aircraft applications for over 85 years. AEROCONTROLEX® current manufacturing  of Air Data Sensors has been transitioned to AEROSONIC® Corporation which manufactures aviation instrumentation and avionics equipment including air data systems, standby displays, digital and mechanical standby instruments, sensors and probes.

Air data include total pressure of the airflow measured by pitot tubes, static pressure of the ambient air by static ports (or both pressures by pitot-static tubes), total temperature (higher than the actual air temperature due to friction and adiabatic compression) by TAT sensors, and angle of attack (i.e. angle between the airfoil and the airflow) by AoA sensors. All these data are vital for aircraft flight and in the case of large civil or military aircraft, once collected are fed to  an air data computer (ADC).

AEROSONIC® / AEROCONTROLEX® extensive portfolio of pitot probes, including pitot, pitot static and pitot/angle-of-attack probes, are designed and today in use  on a wide range of aircraft ranging from military and large commercial transports to helicopters and UAVs. Their product range  includes electrically heated pitot probes, pitot-static probes, static pressure ports, angle of attack, temperature sensors and flight test equipment for the aerospace and defense industries. They are designed to meet or exceed all applicable standards, including SAE AS393, DOD MIL-T-5421B, TSOC-16, AN5813 and BS2G.135 and feature heating elements to prevent ice accretion and water ingression for reliable operation in the most adverse environmental conditions. Probes may be configured as stand alone with pneumatic outputs to the Air Data Computer, or they may integrate the computing function and eliminate the pneumatic connection.

AEROSONIC® fuselage mounted static pressure ports are engineered to meet or exceed industry specifications to supply ambient static pressure measurements to air data computers, altimeters, airspeed indicators and vertical speed indicators in numerous types of aerospace applications. The Static Pressure Ports’ electrical heating elements prevent ice accretion and water ingestion ensuring the performance of primary flight instruments is not degraded even under the most severe atmospheric conditions.

The G3 Series Stick Grips by RAY ALLEN COMPANY (RAC) includes four different models: G301, G303, G305 and G307. All feature four individual SPDT momentary contact switches to control one or two axis electric trim. The switches are triggered via a traditonal 4-way "hat" type activator. These switches are high quality with 15 amp Honeywell microswitches for their superior tactile characteristics. The slotted one or two axis faceplates also adds to the very positive switching action. The four trim switches can be wired directly to Ray Allen servos, eliminating the need to wire relays in the trim system when one grip is used. However, if two grips are used, either relays or a switch to transfer the control of trims from one grip to the other will be needed. The hand grip itself is made out of a very strong BASF composite that has excellent UV resistance. The entire grip has a textured finish. The G3 grips are 6.5” (165 mm) tall. All G3 grips feature a momentary contact, SPDT Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch located on the front side of the grip. A black faceplate is included with each grip. Gray and tan faceplates are also available. All Ray Allen  Stick Grips are designed to fit any stick size up to 1 1/8” in diameter with the use of spacers. Three spacers will be included with each grip enabling easy installation on 3/4”, 7/8” and 1” sticks. The stick grips include pre-cut and stripped 26 gage teflon insulated 19 strand wire. A die-cut label sheet with 50 different labels is supplied with all G3 grips. The labels are lexan coated for long service life and fit in their own recesses for a professional appearance.

DYNON AVIONICS AOA/Pitot probes perform two functions: airspeed and angle of attack sensing. These functions require having two pressure ports on the tip of the probe. The normal pitot pressure port is on the front face of the probe and is designed to be insensitive to angle of attack. The second pressure port is located on an angled surface just under the pitot port and is designed to be very sensitive to AOA. They are under-wing mount, L-shaped  probes which can be installed  easily with simple plug-n-play integration with Dynon and Advanced Products.Their installation requires a mounting bracket sold separately. The pressure from each port is delivered via separate air lines to the instrument where they are compared to previously calibrated scenarios specific to the aircraft. Competitively priced, they are offered in Non-Heated and Heated versions. The Heated AOA Pitot includes a nichrome heating element that is regulated by a separate pitot heater controller unit supplied with the pitot. The controller actively monitors a temperature sensor embedded within the pitot head and regulates the power to maintain a constant temperature. This not only conserves energy but additionally prolongs the life of the heater. The controller also outputs a signal that can be wired to a warning light in the cockpit to warn the pilot anytime there is a malfunction or that the pitot is turned off.

The CONFOR™ foam family (formerly Temperfoam™) by Aearo Technologies LLC (E-A-R), are open cell elastomeric, ergonomic, urethane foams forming part of their specialty foams for comfortable seating, crash protection and noise and vibration control.

CONFOR™ foams offer enduring seating comfort, and absorb a much higher amount of impact shock compared to common polyfoam. They can be used for long period seating applications in aviation, automotive, recreational, office, in medical hospital bedding, sports equipment, wheelchair cushions, industrial operations, or as protective packaging for high value devices.

Standard CONFOR™ product line has been replaced by CONFOR™ M & AC RoHS compliant foams with the same slow recovery attributes as the replaced ones. They come in different sheet sizes (the most popular 16" x 18", 18" x 20", 18" x 24"),and densities, corresponding to different foam weights per cubic foot and denoted by a respective color code (Yellow/Very Soft (CF40 M/AC), Pink/Soft (CF42 M/AC), Blue Medium ((CF45 M/AC), and Green Firm (CF47 M/AC).

CONFOR™ M slow-recovery foams, offer a unique combination of physical characteristics, high energy absorption properties and temperature-softening behavior. They provide impact protection and isolation for dynamic loads, while maintaining consistent static load performance. Their unique combination of slow recovery and high energy absorption allows these materials to offer effective damping and vibration isolation. In addition, as open-celled foams, they are breathable, non-irritating in dermal contact, and thus suitable for highly diverse applications, for medical and body contact cushioning applications to electronics packaging. The respective CONFOR™ AC foams have been engineered for the aircraft market. They are flame resistant and comply with FAR 25.853(a) Appendix F Part I (a)(1)(ii)(12 sec) burn specification requirements, consisting an excellent choice for use on aircraft. CONFOR™ CF42AC & CF45AC foams  are softer and provide more comfort. CONFOR™ green firm density foam CF47AC provides the best energy absorption protection. 

CONFOR™ AC foams are offered in different thicknesses, as solid pieces (e.g. in 1" thickness) or various pre-built  laminates resulting in higher thicknesses. DYNAFOAM is also often used as comfort foam on top of CF-47AC foams. Indicative offered laminations include:

- 1" thickness CF47AC sheet and 0.5" thickness DYNAFOAM sheet. Total laminate size - 16" x 18" x 1.5". Ideal balance for most pilots. 

- 1" thickness CF45AC and 1" thickness CF47AC sheet. Total laminate size - 16" x 18" x  2". Ideal for maximizing safety providing comfort at the same time.

- 0.5" thickness CF47AC and 0.5" thickness DYNAFOAM sheet. Total laminate size - 16" x 18" x 1". Ideal for tall pilots with minimal head clearance.

Third party accessories, such as protective covers, are also available to maximize CONFOR™ foam life.
