Carusoam,
Thank you for your coments. Speed, weight, power - agreed...this is what typically does sell. Thank you for the reminder.
The expectation for this device would not necissarily be full brake application in an emergency- although it would certainly do that if needed. What it would do on an average landing is provide some confidence for light brake application. There is a lot of discussion on this forum about using very slow landing speeds, avoiding use of brakes, tire damage, and so forth. There is also discussion that experience doesn't require brakes...which makes sense...but another tool in the toolbox...maybe there when you need it most...
Anti-skid systems for larger twins can be $40,000 or more- obviously intolerable to the light aircraft owner. The intent would be to do something different with lower cost components, less complexity and less modification at a cost similar to the Alpha AOA installation.
It will also take larger scale production to get the cost down. To work out the costs, the size of the market is important.
Flight training fleet types are a good market for this device. Maybe that's the market...but we're looking around to see what other interest is out there.
