MOISTURE RESISTANT AIR DATA PROBE

摘要

An air data probe 100 includes a probe head 102 defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip 104 and aft base. The probe includes a thermocouple having a sense end in the forward tip to measure the temperature in the forward tip 104. The probe includes a port opening defined in a side of the probe head and opening at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. The probe includes a bulkhead 116 within the probe head 102. The bulkhead has a chamber in fluid communication with the port opening. The chamber includes a single chamber inlet having an elongated cross-sectional shape. The single elongated chamber inlet is in fluid communication with two downstream pressure conduits to provide redundancy in case one of the two pressure conduits is blocked.
