PITOT/PITOT-STATIC PROBE
Aeroprobe offers a line of Drained Pitot/Pitot-Static Probes to allow uncrewed platforms to operate in more extreme weather conditions. Pitot-Static Probes measure total and static pressures to derive airspeed and altitude. Commonly used for flight applications, these probes can be straight for boom mounting ahead of the aircraft or include an aerodynamic strut for fuselage mounting. These probes are frequently used in applications where only an airspeed measurement is desired. Wind Tunnel facilities often use Pitot-Static Probes to characterize wind tunnels, as the angle of airflow is known. The aviation and uncrewed systems industries also rely on Pitot-Static Probes to measure aircraft speed, Mach number, and altitude. For more comprehensive air data, consider Aeroprobe’s Multi-function Air Data Probes, which provide additional measurements like angle-of-attack and angle-of-sideslip, offering a complete solution for advanced performance monitoring.
Heated Drained Pitot-Static Probes
Aeroprobe’s new lightweight 6.4mm tip diameter Heated Drained Pitot-Static Probes expand our offerings, weighing as little as 20 grams (excluding lead wires). This addition provides users with three tip diameter choices: 9.5mm (standard), 7.9mm (optional), and 6.4mm (lightweight), allowing for optimal selection based on platform requirements, whether prioritizing minimal weight or higher airspeed measurements.
Standard heater options at 12V/18W, 15V/23W, or 28V/42W for anti-icing capability; other higher power heater options are also available.
Optional safety feature: PT100 RTD to monitor internal probe temperature.
