Product information "esa TE probes"

The exactitude of high quality sailplaning instruments depends heavily on the quality of the decompression. Sailplane calculators with hugh quality pressure sondes show wrong results in case of an improper decompression. esa decompressions are standard equipment of many sailplane manufacturers, and not only in Germany.

Esa-TEK sondes are available in three variants. Low-vibration nozzles through usage of Cfk tubes.

Within the scope of a diploma thesis with the heading „The Analysis & Development of Total Energy Probes“ at the Technical University of Delft, supervised by the aerodynamics professor Loek Bormans, different sondes have been put to test in the wind tunnel. The main focus of the thesis was the determination of the coefficients and the pitch and angle of sideslip susceptibilities of the sondes. The sondes on offer here all fulfil the requirements at a high rate.

esa TE probe BR/ST - end fitting 40 mm

„Braunschweig“ nozzle. Boom tube made of CfK, nickle-plated brass head, anodised aluminium end piece, end fitting 40 mm, Ø 8 mm, length: 800 mm. Universally applicable, but is susceptible to impurities of the boom inlet (might result in undercompensation). For a long-lasting and effective decompression the boom inlet should be cleared thoroughly after the flight.

Customer review on "esa TE probes"

Rated product esa TE probes

Wir haben auf unserer ASW 20 von einer Düse auf dem Rumpfrücken auf eine esa TEK-Sonde im Heck gewechselt. Die Qualität der Variometeranzeige hat sich erheblich erhöht.
Ich habe die ersten zwei Jahre mit dem Flugzeug \"gefremdelt\", weil ich trotz guten Trainingsstandes die Thermik schlecht traf und nicht wirklich schneller war als mit der ASW 19. Da bei der ASW 20 die Flächen weicher sind, ist eine gute Anzeige des Variometers sogar noch wichtiger als bei ihrem Clubklasse-Pendant.
