Abstract:
Fuselage Pitot-static tube having an axisymmetric body and a strut, and comprising three groups of orifices for determining total pressure, static pressure and angle of attack, the strut having a cross-section constructed in the form of a subsonic aerodynamic profile with a rounded-off or tapered nose, wherein an anti-icing system having airways and electric heating elements is arranged inside the strut such that the electric heating elements are displaced towards a leading edge of the strut, wherein the orifices for determining total pressure and static pressure are arranged on the axisymmetric body, and wherein the orifices for determining the angle of attack are arranged on the strut at a position between the nose and a region of maximum thickness of the aerodynamic profile of the strut.
