Falcon ADC
Compact Air Data Computer with External Heater Support
The Falcon ADC is a compact and lightweight Air Data Computer developed by Vectoflow for platforms where size, weight, and power consumption are critical. The system processes pressure and temperature data from multifunctional air data probes to deliver accurate flight parameters. The Falcon ADC comes with integrated support for probes equipped with a heater, enabling reliable operation in low temperature environments by preventing ice formation at the probe tip.

DESIGN & PRODUCTION
Additive Manufacturing at Vectoflow
Additive manufacturing is at the heart of Vectoflow’s probe technology. Using advanced 3D-printing processes, we create lightweight yet extremely robust probes with geometries that conventional manufacturing cannot achieve. Complex internal channels, compact multi-sensor designs, and fully integrated features enable reliable flow measurement even under the most demanding aerodynamic and thermal conditions.
All Under One Roof
Our in-house facilities in Gilching (Germany) allow us to move seamlessly from concept to finished probe – combining design, production, and calibration under one roof. The result: tailor-made flow measurement solutions that deliver accuracy, durability, and unmatched flexibility for every application.
