The world’s toughest wind sensors

FT7 Series

The FT7 Series of ultrasonic wind sensors deliver highly accurate and consistent wind speed and direction data from compact sensors. With no moving parts, built-in heaters, and resistance to a wide range of environmental factors, the FT7 series sensors are maintenance-free and will last for years, even in the harshest of climates.

Lightweight wind sensors for drones

FT205 Lightweight

The FT205 delivers high performance in a light package. Made from a graphite and nylon composite, and weighing only 100g (3.5oz), this sensor has been specifically designed for use on drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

Acu-Res® Technology is what makes us unique

Acu-Res ®

Acu-Res® is our unique acoustic resonance measurement system which differentiates our wind sensors from any other ultrasonic.

Who we are

FT Technologies is run from Sunbury, UK by a team including the original inventor of Acu-Res®.

How it works

FT sensors measure the phase change of acoustic waves resonating inside a small cavity to calculate wind speed, direction and temperature.

Used by the world’s leading wind turbine manufacturers

Tested to the extreme

FT Technologies’ wind sensors have passed over 30 independent tests including ice, corrosion, sand, dust, hail, vibration, drop, and lightning protection. During testing FT sensors are exposed to one month of Amazon rainfall in one hour, repeatedly dropped onto concrete, cycled from the Antarctic to Saharan heat, submerged in water, subjected to 8000 volts and exposed to corrosive salt spray.

The FT205,  mounted on our drone, worked perfectly in real fire situations. The data it produced proved critically important to the emergency services as they were able to predict the spread of the blaze during the night.”

After hearing about the reliable performance of the FT sensor and then holding it in my hand and feeling the difference in weight and size, I was convinced. The weather can throw anything at us now. Changing to the FT sensor has made it possible to keep these turbines running, even in our coldest winter conditions.”

The FT wind sensor was the only one to survive – the other two ultrasonic wind sensors were so badly damaged they stopped working altogether. The FT sensor, however, remained ice-free and continued giving measurements, and that was one of the worst icing events we have ever seen at the observatory.”
