Product
The first flight instrument that monitors your wing — not just your position.
Capabilities
Real-time differential pressure sensing inside your canopy. Detects collapse signatures, asymmetric loading, and abnormal canopy behaviour before it becomes visible.
Competition-grade IGC logging with digital signature for valid XContest uploads. BLE streaming to your favourite flight app. Audio vario with thermal tones.
Upload flights to the cloud platform for machine learning analysis. Wing health tracking, event detection, and data-driven insights that improve with every flight.

How It Works
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.
Paired sensors at multiple wing positions, sampling at 100 Hz across a 0–200 Pa range.
Spatial forecast detects events in <200ms; bulk confirmation validates in 1–3 seconds.
Pressure, IMU, and GPS data synchronised into the world's first wing pressure dataset.
