OWTS

OWTS is a proof-of-concept system to transmit an aircraft’s indicated airspeed (IAS) to the winch station with low latency during winch launch.

The concept uses two identical devices with different roles:

  • Aircraft mode (transmitter): one device in each aircraft measures IAS and transmits it.
  • Winch mode (receiver): one device at the winch receives IAS and presents it via a local web UI.

Proof of concept – not for operational use

OWTS is currently a proof of concept. It is not recommended for operational use at this stage.

  • Radio compliance and certification requirements vary by country and intended operational use.
  • Aircraft sensor installations (including pitot/static integration) can be regulated and may require approvals depending on local rules.
