Airfoil Performance Monitor (APM)

Payloads & Sensors

Description

The Airfoil Performance Monitor (APM) is a surface-mounted airflow monitoring system that measures airflow turbulence intensity at the airfoil surface to determine real-time margin-to-stall. It provides pilots, UAS operators and avionics systems with continuous stall-warning and airfoil performance data in all phases of flight and weather (including iced or contaminated surfaces), enabling improved safety, optimized anti-ice use, and fuel/maintenance savings.

Key Features
Directly measures aerodynamic performance at the airfoil surface (wing, tail, etc.) Measures airflow turbulence intensity (boundary layer tripping / separation) correlated to proximity to stall Provides real-time margin-to-stall even when airfoils are iced, contaminated or degraded Identifies location of stall so corrective actions can be taken Operates in all phases of flight and in all weather conditions Enables optimization of anti-ice/de-ice system usage Allows aircraft to be flown more efficiently ("flying R") to reduce fuel use Provides earlier warning than traditional stall/ice detection systems, improving safety and survivability
Use Cases
Real-time stall margin detection for manned aircraft Prevention of UAS loss due to icing/contamination Optimization of anti-ice/de-ice system use Green operations / fuel efficiency optimization based on actual airfoil condition Optimization of approach and landing speeds to reduce brake wear Protection for airframe manufacturers against icing-related claims Safety during take-off roll and high-speed stall conditions Extension of UAS range and payload in cold climates
