Does anyone know of a source for a remote airspeed sensor? I was just sitting around thinking about Bob Axom's work and that of others regarding cooling drag and I thought, gee, wouldn't it be nice to have a remote sensor that could easily be placed at various points inside the cowl to broadcast data that could be interpeted as airspeed? I don't know if BlueTooth would work through the skin, but perhaps there's a way to do this? Could a MAP sensor be tweaked to do something like this? Maybe this could be used, directionally, to look at airflow speed and direction inside wheel fairings.
This would be nice for IFR back-up, too, but I was really thinking about measuring air flow inside the cowling or even at the wing roots, etc.
If good corellations could be observed between external airspeeds and inside-cowling airspeeds, then we'd have an ice-proof emergency sensor without the high current draw of pitot heat.
Any experts want to chime in?
