IAS Synthesizer

Goes to show there are a lot of complicated ways to measure airspeed.
Using a couple of vertical accelerometer sensors connected over WIFI to an iPod running dedicated low frequency audio software could be sufficient to give a decent reading (calculated with the static pressure). The reading should be more detailed by also using horizontal accelerometer data from the wing tips.

A good high school project perhaps.

specialist OSs are needed for safety.
And that would often times mean [hands on] by some version of Windows or Vista (referring to various EFIS devices here), right
