Method of Detecting, Measuring, Correcting and Removal of Ice for a Pitot-Static Based Airspeed Detection Syeste for an Aircraft

摘要

Test pressure bursts are utilized to eject a burst of air into the two channels of a pitot-static airspeed detection system and decay times for that air pressure are evaluated with respect to aircraft altitude. A higher-pressure burst of air may be employed to clear ice from a pitot-static channel.
