    Abstract: A sensor includes an airfoil body (104), a heater element (134), and a temperature probe (158). The airfoil body (104) defines a sensor axis, an insulating cavity (172), and extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the airfoil body. The heater element (134)extends axially within the airfoil body and is positioned between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the airfoil body. The temperature probe extends axially within the airfoil body, is positioned between the heater element and the trailing edge of the airfoil body, and is separated from the heater element by the insulating cavity to limit thermal communication between the temperature probe and the heater element. Gas turbine engines, methods of making sensors, and methods of thermally separating temperature probes and heater elements in sensors are also described.

    Abstract: A method and an electrical circuit (10) for measuring the traverse speed of an additive manufacturing system energy source includes installing the electrical circuit (10) within a region (22) of the additive manufacturing system and translating the energy source along a first segment of a path within the region (22) that intersects the electrical circuit. While the energy source traverses the path, the energy source modifies the electrical circuit (10) by adding or removing material, causing a permanent change in the circuit, leading to a corresponding change of an electrical signal of the circuit, which is sensed by a monitoring circuit. The traverse speed of the energy source is determined based on the change in the electrical signal and a geometry of the electrical circuit (10) along the first segment.

    Abstract: A method for forming a heater on a substrate includes feeding a heater wire (112) into a heating zone (114), the heater wire being in contact with a dielectric material (124) within the heating zone, and coaxially co-extruding the heater wire and the dielectric material from the heating zone through a nozzle (116) and onto a substrate such that the heater wire and the dielectric material form a heater for heating the substrate.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for making an air temperature sensor comprises first generating a digital model of an air temperature sensor housing 10. The digital model is inputted into an additive manufacturing apparatus comprising an energy source. The additive manufacturing apparatus applies energy from the energy source to successively applied incremental quantities of a fusible material. The energy source fuses the successively applied incremental quantities of the fusible material to form incremental portions of the air temperature sensor housing 10 that accrete together to form the air temperature sensor housing.

    Abstract: A sensor (100) includes an airfoil body (104), a heater element (134), and a temperature probe (158). The airfoil body (104) defines a sensor axis (114) and having a leading edge (116), a trailing edge (118), and an ice accretion feature (195). The heater element (134) extends axially through the airfoil body (104) between the leading edge (116) and the trailing edge (118) of the airfoil body (104). The temperature probe (158) extends axially through the airfoil body (104) between the heater element (134) and the trailing edge (118) of the airfoil body (104). The heater element (134) is axially overlapped by the ice accretion feature (195) to accrete ice chordwise forward of a tip surface aperture (170). Gas turbine engines, methods of making sensors, and methods of accreting ice on sensors are also described.

    Abstract: A probe head (12) of an air data probe includes a body (22) extending from a first end (18) to a second end (20) of the probe head (12) and a rod heater (224). The body (22) includes an inlet (28A) adjacent the first end (18) of the probe head, an air passageway (30A) extending through the body (22) from the inlet (28A) to a second end of the probe head, a water dam (32A) extending radially through the body such that the air passageway (30A) is redirected around the water dam, a heater bore (34) extending within the body, and an enhanced conduction area (238A) between heater bore (34) and an exterior surface (26) of the probe head. The inlet (28A), the air passageway (30A), the water dam (32A), and the heater bore (34) are all unitary to the body. The rod heater (224) is positioned within the heater bore (34).
