Abstract:
Systems and methods for icing resistant total air temperature probes with air jets are presented. In one embodiment, a probe comprises: a base having a forced air input port; and a body having leading and trailing edges extending from the base, the body comprising: a first interior airflow passage; a temperature sensor positioned within the first airflow passage; a notched intake port at a distal end of the body including an open channel extending into an intake aperture, and a cutaway region defining a recessed second face inset from the first face and exposes the open channel. The intake aperture opens into the first interior airflow passage, the notched intake port comprising air jet ports at a tip of the notched intake port; and a heated airflow passage through the body and isolated from the first interior airflow passage, coupling the forced air input port to the air jet ports.
