Airspeed sensors estimates estimate the air speed using a differential pressure sensor and a pitot tube. Pitot A pitot tube has two pipes, one for static pressure (side of tube) and other for dynamic pressure in front of the tube. Two differential analog sensors are supported: MPXV7002DP and MPXV5004DP
Connections are pretty simple: Gnd, +5V, and analog voltage proportional to the airspeed. Sensor The sensor can be connected in to various ports, according to the board you use. See next part. Sensor position You may choose a good place for your pitot tube, the static pressure should not be disturbed by aerodynamic effects that artificially increase the static pressure due to a too close fuselage or wing.
