ABSTRACT:
An air data sensor probe for providing measurements of total pressure, static pressure and angle-of-attack for an aircraft in flight. The probe is essentially cylindrical with a hemispherical nose. It has a vertically elongated central opening for measurement of total pressure and a plurality of off-axis openings, manifolded by pairs, to measure angle-of-attack. Static pressure is measured by a plurality of ports mounted back from the nose, manifolded together to provide the static pressure reading.
