Product catalog summary
Introduction to SmartProbe® Air Data Systems
The SmartProbe® Air Data Systems by UTC Aerospace Systems represent the latest generation of integrated air data solutions for modern aircraft. These systems combine multi-function probes and air data computers with stall warning and protection features, offering a comprehensive air data solution that is RVSM-compliant and suitable for various aircraft platforms and upgrade programs.
Key Features and Benefits
  • Integration and Accuracy: The system integrates sensing probes, pressure sensors, and air data computer processing to provide critical air data parameters such as Pitot and static pressure, airspeed, altitude, angle of attack, and angle of sideslip. This integration results in greater accuracy and improved performance.
  • Turn-key Solutions: Tailored solutions are available for specific needs, including full system integration capabilities with flight control systems and specialized applications like gust load alleviation systems.
  • Support and Maintenance: UTC Aerospace Systems offers comprehensive design and service support, including a global Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) network and a 24-7 Aircraft on Ground (AOG) Program.
Simplified Architecture
The SmartProbe Air Data Systems feature a simplified architecture with fewer parts, enhancing operational reliability. Each SmartProbe unit includes its own air data computer, eliminating the need for extensive pneumatic tubing and electrical wiring. This design reduces life cycle costs and improves system performance.
Operational Advantages
  • Cost Efficiency: The system's design reduces manufacturing costs for OEMs and life cycle costs for operators.
  • Improved Accuracy: The elimination of pneumatic pressure lag enhances system accuracy, particularly in altitude measurement.
  • Maintenance and Reliability: Simplified maintenance is achieved through easy access to parts, and the system's design extends probe life and increases mean time between failures (MTBF).
Proven Success and Applications
The SmartProbe Air Data Systems have been successfully implemented across a wide range of military and commercial aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned vehicles. Their adaptability makes them a preferred choice for new and retrofit programs. Notable platforms include the Airbus A400M, Dassault Falcon 7X, Northrop Grumman X-47B, and many others.
Conclusion
UTC Aerospace Systems' SmartProbe Air Data Systems offer a robust, accurate, and cost-effective solution for modern aircraft, backed by extensive support and proven success across various platforms.
