Engine Inlet Total Air Temperature Sensor

摘要

A total air temperature (TAT) sensor assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a housing that accommodates a temperature sensor. The assembly also includes a first airfoil that includes a leading end and a trailing end and a second airfoil that includes a leading end and a trailing end. The first and second airfoils are disposed in a spaced-apart fashion that defines a curved passageway so incoming air can flow between the first and second airfoils before engaging the housing and the temperature sensor. The trailing ends of the airfoils are disposed on opposite sides of the housing and spaced apart from the housing to permit air flowing through the curved passageway to pass the housing.
