ABSTRACT:
A combination air data probe performs a number of different pressure measurements from a single structure. Measurements of total pressure and total temperature are performed in an improved structural configuration which renders these measurements substantially insensitive to aircraft angle of attack. Static temperature is computed free of recovery factor error because of compensatory effects in the pressure and temperature signals. Another part of the probe provides measurement of static pressure and pressures for determining angle of attack.
