PITOT-STATIC PROBE WITH PNEUMATIC ANGLE-OF-ATTACK SENSOR
An air data probe includes a housing and a probe head with a body, total pressure and alpha chambers, total pressure and alpha ports, and alpha drain ports. The total pressure chamber extends through a radial center of the body. The alpha chambers are disposed radially outward from the total pressure chamber. The total pressure port is disposed in a distal end of the body is collinear with a centerline axis of the body. The total pressure chamber is in fluid communication with the total pressure port and with the housing. The alpha ports are disposed downstream of the total pressure port and upstream of the housing. The alpha chambers are in fluid communication with the alpha ports. The alpha drain ports are disposed downstream from the alpha port and upstream from the housing. The alpha drain ports fluidly communicate with the alpha chamber.
