A fixed-wing autopilot uses airspeed to avoid stalls and hold a safe speed in wind. Choose the sensing element for your speed range and check whether the pitot tube is included.
Optical flow measures horizontal movement and a distance sensor the height it is measured over; the autopilot needs both. Our guide compares flow, lidar and visual odometry.
