Are you dreaming about having a real time wind indication in your glider?
Do you feel sometimes in the Alps that wind suddenly changes?
Get real time wind with HAWK!
- HAWK option enables instantaneous wind readings in all 3 axis.
- Measurement - HAWK uses sensor fusion and advanced digital signal processing to estimate the air mass movement.
- 3-dimensional wind triangle - HAWK applies an “extended Kalman filter” (EKF) algorithm that jointly estimates all three dimensions of the air mass movement
- Instant results - EKF estimates the wind direction and velocity instantaneously (horizontal and vertical). No more waiting!
- No compensation, no compromise needed, since it uses no law of energy conservation. More accurate netto vario readings independent of glider speed. No more “stick” lift.
- Wind indication - Wind screen enables you to view the instantaneous wind on the blue arrow and the wind average on the white arrow.
- 2 needle vario - A red and blue vario needles at the same time. Red shows the value of computations of the TEK while light blue shows the value of the EKF.
- AHRS - The results of the attitude estimate of the EKF can also be displayed as an artificial horizon.

HAWK is a software option and has been developed by Heinrich Meyr and Peng Huang and is licensed to LXNAV
AVAILABILITY AND SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The HAWK option is presently available for GEN4 or newer navigation systems (LX80xx, LX90xx) with V8 or V80 variometer. HAWK compatibility depends on specific device configuration and can be checked in the About dialogue on the navigational device (application version 8.03i or newer).
