- Inside the mechanical Bendix Air Data Computer, part 3: pressure transducers (righto.com)
The Bendix Central Air Data Computer (CADC) is an electromechanical analog computer that uses gears and cams for its mathematics. It was a key part of military planes such as the F-101 and the F-111 fighters, computing airspeed, Mach number, and other “air data”. This article reverse-engineers the two pressure transducers, on the right in the photo below. It is part 3 of my series on the CADC.
