EXTERNAL CASE HEATER FOR AN ANGLE OF ATTACK SENSOR

摘要

A heating apparatus for use in an Angle of Attack sensor is described herein. The heating apparatus includes a heating element bonded to a support element. The support element is configured to be attachable to and removable from the Angle of Attack sensor. The heating element may receive an electrical current, causing the temperature of the heating element to increase. The temperature increase is designed to reduce the probability that ice forms in certain locations of the Angle of Attack sensor.
