7075 Aluminum UAV Pitot Tube (Airspeed Tube)

Look, they say it is not the size of your pitot tube that matters, it is the accuracy of your dynamic pressure data. But let's be honest: at a massive 295mm overall length, yours is going to be visibly larger than the other pilots' on the flightline, and we know that matters to you. Ego boosts aside, if you are flying medium or large composite wing UAVs, guessing true wind speed based on ground telemetry is a guaranteed recipe for an ArduPilot EKF failsafe.

This quick-detach UAV airspeed tube is machined from aerospace-grade alloy to handle the exact abuse commercial operations throw at it. Whether you are drowning in CAA paperwork or battling freezing UK rain, a precise pitot tube feeds your PX4 flight controller the critical telemetry needed to prevent stalls. We have 10 years of experience manufacturing commercial FPV systems, and we know firsthand that wing-stalling a £10k payload because of bad airflow data is a terrible look for your bottom line.

Key Highlights

• 7075 Aerospace Aluminum: Machined from high-grade aviation hard aluminum for maximum rigidity and resistance to the elements.
• Quick-Release Design: Quickly disassembled for transport without having to re-route or rip your silicone tubing.
• Unapologetic Length: A 240mm external reach ensures the sensors sit well outside boundary layers and propeller wash.

Why You Want It

Because explaining a wind-induced stall to a surveying client is significantly harder than installing a proper sensor. This extended airspeed tube pushes the dynamic and static pressure ports way out into clean, undisturbed air—proving that sometimes, extra length really does result in better performance.

Specifications

• Suitability: Medium and large fixed-wing / composite wing VTOL UAVs
• Total Length: 295mm
• External Length: 240mm
• Mounting Hole Distance: 14mm
• Weight: Data unavailable (The manufacturer was apparently too busy admiring the sheer size of their CNC milling work to put it on a scale, but it is aluminum, so it is light).

FAQ

How do I mount this dynamic and static pressure UAV pitot tube?

This 7075 aluminum airspeed tube mounts to your fixed-wing or VTOL UAV using the standard 14mm mounting hole distance. You will need to route your own pneumatic tubing from the internal barbs through the wing to your digital airspeed sensor. Ensure the 240mm external section is positioned completely clear of propeller wash for accurate dynamic pressure readings.  Please note, mounting hardware is not included with this item

Disclaimer

Unmanned Tech Shop UK accepts no responsibility if you fail to calibrate your airspeed sensor before launch and your VTOL decides to aggressively inspect a tree. Always clear your dynamic and static ports of debris and moisture before flight.
