ABSTRACT:
A deployable probe has pressure ports positioned radially around a longitudinal probe axis. The probe mounts within a pressure chamber such that it can reciprocate from a retracted position where the pressure ports are contained within the pressure chamber for measuring static pressure to a deployed position where air flows generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the probe and into the pressure ports such that differential pressures in oppositely facing pressure ports can be sensed for measuring relative flow magnitude and flow angles.
