An air data probe (10) such as a pitot probe, pitot-static probe, or total air temperature probe incorporates heaters (42) within the wall (30) of the device. The heater (42) extends from the base (12) of the probe (10) to the tip (18) of the probe (10). In a preferred embodiment, the heater (42) is a wire heater that extends in the wall (30) of the probe (10) from the base (12) to the tip (18), and surrounds a sampling chamber (24) in the probe (10) in a spiral pattern.
