Aerosonic

Aerosonic makes instruments and avionics for aircraft. The company was founded in 1953. It builds air data systems, standby displays, digital and mechanical standby instruments, sensors and probes. Avionics means the electronic systems used in an aircraft.

Air data is the core of the business. The company measures pressure and turns it into information that helps keep flights safe. Its instruments can show altitude, airspeed, rate of climb, cabin pressure, differential pressure, angle of attack, vertical speed and cabin rate of change. They run on the air in and around the aircraft.

Aerosonic serves civil, military and business aircraft. This covers fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft, which are helicopters. Its customers include major aircraft makers. They also include all branches of the United States military. The company says pilots have relied on its instruments for over fifty years.

One product shown on the website is the OASIS electronic standby instrument system. A standby instrument is a backup that pilots can use if the main displays fail. The site also lists sales, repairs, vendors, quality and patents.

The company is based in Clearwater, Florida. It sells through distributors in the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Pacific. It also keeps design, manufacturing, repair and warranty facilities in North America, Europe and the Far East. This gives customers local help in many regions.

Trained technicians handle service and repair. Aerosonic says it offers support options that fit specific needs. These include new designs, parts orders and repair scheduling. It also builds custom engineered products for customers.

Aerosonic is part of the TransDigm family of companies. TransDigm makes engineered components for commercial and military aerospace. Its products are sold to aircraft makers and the aftermarket, and are found on almost all types of aircraft. The Aerosonic website has a contact form where visitors can describe a project.
