The Rite Angle system is simpler. It uses a vane mounted under the wing
which swivels to follow the relative airflow, and which drives the cockpit
indicator, which is similar to the PSS indicator.
How do they handle icing? Is the vane heated? I would be a little concerned about the speed loss due to the vane. However, if you really want to do an apples to apples comparison with the PSS system, then you need to add an additional pitot tube to make the PSS system truly redundant, which may add close to the same amount of drag as this sensor.
