A blade-mounted total pressure (BMTP) probe for a rotor blade comprises a base segment and an inlet segment. The base segment includes an interface surface having a planar configuration that is complementary to an aerodynamic surface of the rotor blade for detachably mounting the BMTP probe in combination with the rotor blade, an aerodynamically-streamlined body member contiguous with the interface surface that includes a leading edge and first and second flow surfaces, and a fluid communication aperture extending through the aerodynamically-streamlined body member and the interface surface. The inlet segment comprises an inlet defined by a lower wall contiguous with the aerodynamically-streamlined member, opposed sidewalls contiguous with the lower wall, and an upper wall contiguous with the opposed sidewalls. The inlet segment further includes a backwall contiguous with the lower wall, the opposed sidewalls, and the upper wall and wherein the backwall, the lower wall, the opposed sidewalls, and the said upper wall in combination define a collection chamber within the inlet segment. A fluid communication aperture extends through the lower wall in aligned relation with the fluid communication aperture of the base segment. An ejection port is formed through the one opposed sidewall distal from the center of rotation of the main rotor blade. |
