Description |
Air data products measure pitot and static pressures as well as angle of attack (AOA), angle of sideslip (AOS), and total air temperature (TAT). Air data products obtain aircraft angle of attack (AOA, alpha), sideslip (AOS, beta), static pressure, total pressure (pitot static), outside air temperature (OAT), and total air temperature (TAT). Typical names for these devices are nose booms, wing booms, nosebooms, air data probes, pitot probes, pitot static probes, trailing cones, and trailing bombs. These products provide pressure and airflow direction data to data acquisition and air data computers for computation of aircraft orientation, airspeed, altitude, and related information. |
