ABSTRACT:
A unitized drain manifold apparatus for removing water from air in a conduit of an air data sensor system for an aircraft comprises a manifold having a plurality of drain cavities therein. Each drain cavity has a center chamber portion and two end drain chambers positioned vertically above and below the center chamber portion when the aircraft is at rest. The end drain chambers are used for accumulation of water which is separated from the air pressure signal. The cavities are each equipped with two drain passageways such that the accumulated water can be removed from the apparatus in normal or inverted positions. The positioning of the external drain passageways permits water accumulation and removal to occur independently of the spatial orientation of the apparatus and the symmetry of the manifold permits it to be mounted on either side of the aircraft.
