ParaBaro

The first flight instrument that monitors your wing — not just your position.

One Device, Three Capabilities

Wing Pressure Monitor

Real-time differential pressure sensing inside your canopy. Detects collapse signatures, asymmetric loading, and abnormal canopy behaviour before it becomes visible.

GPS Vario

Competition-grade IGC logging with digital signature for valid XContest uploads. BLE streaming to your favourite flight app. Audio vario with thermal tones.

ML Flight Analysis

Upload flights to the cloud platform for machine learning analysis. Wing health tracking, event detection, and data-driven insights that improve with every flight.

The Science Inside Your Wing

ParaBaro measures differential pressure — the force that keeps your wing inflated. When that pressure drops, especially asymmetrically, a collapse is imminent. Our sensors detect this 0.5–1.5 seconds before it becomes visible.

4-Channel

Pressure Sensing

Paired sensors at multiple wing positions, sampling at 100 Hz across a 0–200 Pa range.

2-Stage

ML Prediction

Spatial forecast detects events in <200ms; bulk confirmation validates in 1–3 seconds.

720K+

Readings/Hour

Pressure, IMU, and GPS data synchronised into the world's first wing pressure dataset.
