<p>The probe (10) has a pitot tube (14), and two separate heating wires (31, 32) heated separately, where one heating wire is intended to heat the pitot tube, and the other heating wire is intended to heat a mast (15). A distributing unit (35) distributes a given maximum power to each one of the two heating wires as a function of the current temperature of each of the pitot tube and the mast. A fixing unit includes a base (23) and a screw (25) for fixing the probe to the skin of an aircraft, where the mast connects the pitot tube to the fixing unit. An independent claim is also included for a method for using a probe for measuring the total pressure of an airflow.</p> |
