Aircraft sensors are the core integral part of components used in the instrumentation systems of an aircraft. The instrumentation used in an aircraft not only captures information about the condition of aircraft engines, different aircraft components, altitude of the aircraft, weather conditions, and cabin environment but also conveys it to the crew and pilots in an accurate manner, which is easy to understand. Aircraft sensors, which include pressure sensors, temperature sensors, force sensors, potentiometers, torque sensors, speed sensors, position & displacement sensors, proximity sensors, level sensors, flow sensors, switch sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, among others.

The Aircraft Sensors vendors are placed into 4 categories based on their performance and reviews in each criterion: “visionary leaders,” “innovators,” “dynamic differentiators,” and “emerging companies".

They have an established product portfolio and a robust market presence. They also provide mature and reputable products & services and have strong business strategies.

They are established vendors with very strong business strategies. However, they have a weak product portfolio. They generally focus on a specific type of technology related to a product.

Innovators are vendors that have demonstrated substantial product innovations as compared to their competitors. They have a highly focused product portfolio. However, they do not have very strong growth strategies for their overall business.

They are vendors with niche product offerings who have started to gain their position in the market. They do not have strong business strategies as compared to established vendors. They might be new entrants and require more time before attaining significant traction in the market. The sensors installed in aircraft engine include pressure sensors, temperature sensors, torque sensors, speed sensors, accelerometers, level sensors, and flow sensors. In this segment, the sensors installed in engines of narrow body, wide body, very large aircraft, regional & business jets, light aircraft, fighter jets, military transport carriers, helicopters, and UAVs. The major sensors used in flight deck & control system include temperature sensors, force sensors, altimeter sensor, position sensors, accelerometer, gyroscope, altitude sensors, GPS sensors, pitot tubes, radar sensors, Angle of Attack (AoA) sensors, and others. The types of aircraft considered in this segment include narrow body, wide body, very large aircraft, regional & business jets, light aircrafts, fighter jets, military transport carriers, helicopters, and UAVs. The sensors are mainly used in automated flight control systems, collision avoidance systems, weather indicators, and inertial navigation systems of aircraft. The major sensors used in landing gear, wheels and brakes include pressure sensors, speed sensors, and proximity sensors. The types of aircraft considered in this segment include narrow body, wide body, very large aircraft, regional & business jet, small aircraft, fighter jet, military transport carriers, helicopters, and UAVs.
