Alpha Systems AOA / Depot Star

In 1997 DepotStar, Inc. created an electronic angle of attack (AOA) system utilizing a new pressure measurement technology. This system can be installed into most aircraft without any major modifications. No flight critical systems are affected and the system draws minimal current while incorporating ultra-bright LEDs into the display. We named our newly developed AOA product: Alpha Systems AOA. Our initial LED display fit into a standard 2-1/4” round instrument panel opening and mimicked mechanical needle movement. The design development of our Alpha Systems AOA line did not stop here. It soon became apparent that additional AOA display options were required due to customers’ various panel requirements, cockpit layouts and display preferences.
