Some time ago I was asked about a affordable way to have a warning before going into stall with a scale-plane. Since true airspeed is one of the most reliable ways to get that info i ordered some parts and started planning one, now it’s out!
Jeti Airspeed Sensor
And of course a little hardware:
Airspeed Sensor Features
- Airspeed to transmitter
- User definable units km/h or mph
- Speedrange ~20 to 225km/h or 20 to 140mph
Accuracy is simply put astonishing. I tested the sensor while driving a car on highway up to 130kmh (~80mph) and values are pinpoint what car’s GPS displayed. Values given from Airspeed Sensor are smoothed for stability but without suffering update speed.
Total cost?
Little more than the usual 5 to 10 bucks due the price of dual pressure sensor needed. Total is just under 25€ (or under $30) so still not expensive at all!
Tell me where?!
Go here! Enjoy!

Well done Tero, just what I needed!
Is it possible to make speed announcement like the original jeti speed sensor ?

Just program transmitter to announce at will with a switch. There's also Lua, similar function like in AltAnnouncer could work.
This is super handy! It's worth more than what it costs. Good job, Tero!
Thank you Tero
Your answer is fine….just waiting for the speed sensor 350 ++kmh , 450 kmh would be nice for my jet.
