An air data sensor probe for providing measurements of total pressure, static pressure and angle-of-attack for an aircraft in flight. The probe is essentially cylindrical with a hemispherical nose. It has a vertically elongated central opening for measurement of total pressure and a plurality of off-axis openings, manifolded by pairs, to measure angle-of-attack. Static pressure is measured by a plurality of ports mounted back from the nose, manifolded together to provide the static pressure reading.

An air data sensor probe for installation on an aircraft comprising: a generally cylindrical barrel portion and a rounded nose portion having an exterior wall closing the forward end of the barrel portion, the probe having a central longitudinal axis; a first opening in the wall of said nose portion, facing generally forward for measuring total pressure, said opening being elongated in a preferred direction which is generally transverse to the central longitudinal axis; a plurality of off-axis second openings in said nose portion wall, displaced from said first opening, said second openings being interconnected by pairs for sensing pressure which are indicative of angle of attack; at least one additional opening mounted in said barrel portion rearward of said nose portion for measuring static pressure; and a plurality of conduits coupled to the respective openings for directing the measured pressure signals to a remote location.
