    Abstract: An air data probe comprises an elongated body structure having a proximal end and a distal end, with the elongated body structure including an outer surface and an opposing inner surface that defines an interior channel. A probe tip is located at the distal end of the elongated body structure, with the probe tip including an outer surface and an inner surface that are contiguous with the outer an inner surfaces of the elongated body structure. The probe tip has an opening in communication with the interior channel that allows outside air to pass from the probe tip into the interior channel. An electrical heater cable is coupled to the elongated body structure and the probe tip. The electrical heater cable comprises a compact double layer helix portion coupled to the elongated body structure or the probe tip, or coupled to both the elongated body structure and the probe tip.

    Abstract: A precooler system having a symmetrical precooler core that is optimized to be integrally mounted to the turbofan engine, regardless of the turbofan engine size, is provided. The provided precooler system optimizes available space between a turbofan engine and the nacelle, and does not substantially increase weight and cost. The provided precooler system may be flexibly implemented as either a right handed precooler system or a left handed precooler system.

    Abstract: A total air temperature (TAT) probe having a self-regulating heating system is provided. A TAT probe housing includes at least one heating cavity that is located proximate to a tip of the TAT probe. A heating element is received within the at least one heating cavity. The heating element is composed from a flexible material with a very high positive temperature coefficient (PTC) that provides non-linear resistance with temperature with generally relatively low electrical resistances at temperatures below freezing and relatively high electrical resistances above freezing. A power source is coupled to the heating element. The very high PTC material of the heating element causes less power to be drawn by the heating element from the power source at higher temperatures above freezing than the power drawn by the heating element from the power source at lower temperatures below freezing to maintain a desired temperature of the TAT probe.

    Abstract: A thrust reverser system for a gas turbine engine includes at least one hinge coupled to the thrust reverser system so as to be adjacent to at least one opening defined in the thrust reverser system. The thrust reverser system includes at least one body coupled to the at least one hinge. The at least one body has a first body end and an opposing second body end. The body pivotally coupled to the hinge such that a portion of the body is positionable within the at least one opening and the body includes at least one counterweight at the first body end or the second body end. The body is positioned within the at least one opening based on an operating condition of the gas turbine engine.

    Abstract: An anti-icing system is provided for an inlet lip annularly extending about a nacelle of an aircraft engine assembly. The anti-icing system includes an interior wall structure at least partially forming an annular anti-icing chamber with the inlet lip and an annular shield with a first end coupled to the interior wall structure and a second end extending into the annular anti-icing chamber. The annular shield divides the annular anti-icing chamber into first and second chamber portions fluidly coupled together by a passage formed between the second end and the internal surface of the inlet lip. The anti-icing system further includes a nozzle at an inwardly radial position relative to the first end of the annular shield such that the heated air exits the nozzle into the first chamber portion in which the annular shield blocks direct impingement on the internal surface of the inlet lip.

    Abstract: A thermally isolated sensor associated with a gas turbine engine includes a sensor probe configured to measure a temperature of a fluid associated with the gas turbine engine, and a base to be coupled to the gas turbine engine. The thermally isolated sensor includes a leading projection coupled to the base that extends into the fluid. The leading projection is configured to be heated by a heat source associated with the gas turbine engine. The thermally isolated sensor includes a trailing projection coupled to the base that extends into the fluid. The trailing projection is downstream from the leading projection. The trailing projection includes an inlet, and the sensor probe is disposed within the inlet and thermally isolated from the leading projection.
