LXNAV HAWK - Wind Calculation Option

LXNAV HAWK Option

Get Real-Time Wind With HAWK

General Description

LXNAV HAWK Option Real-time wind indication – INCLUDES AHRS - 3D wind. HAWK option enables instantaneous wind readings on all 3 axes.

Measurement HAWK uses sensor fusion and advanced digital signal processing to estimate the air mass movement.

3-Dimensional Wind Triangle HAWK applies an “extended Kalman filter” (EKF) algorithm that jointly estimates all three dimensions of the air mass movement.

Instant Results EKF estimates the wind direction and velocity instantaneously (horizontal and vertical). No more waiting!

No Compensation, No Compromise No compensation is needed, since it uses no law of energy conservation. More accurate netto vario readings independent of glider speed. No false thermals due to wind gusts = No more “stick” lift.

Wind Indication Wind screen enables you to view the instantaneous wind on the blue arrow and the wind average on the white arrow.

2 Needle Vario A red and blue vario needles at the same time. Red shows the value of computations of the TEK while light blue shows the value of the EKF.

 AHRS The results of the attitude estimate of the EKF can also be displayed as an artificial horizon.
