Abstract

A pressure measurement probe for an aircraft, includes a pressure sensor board comprising an electronic board equipped with a pressure sensor provided with an air inlet, the electronic board further comprising at least four fixing points distributed on a circle at regular angular intervals and configured to allow the sensor board to be fixed in the pressure measurement probe in such a way as to have, when the aircraft is on the ground, a pressure sensor air inlet that is directed downward and an angular offset less than or equal to 45° between the axis of the air inlet of the pressure sensor and the vertical, irrespective of the position of the probe on the aircraft.

Claims (6)

1 . A pressure measurement probe for an aircraft, comprising a pressure sensor board comprising an electronic board equipped with a pressure sensor provided with an air inlet, the electronic board further comprising at least four fixing points distributed on a circle at regular angular intervals and configured to allow the sensor board to be fixed in the pressure measurement probe in such a way as to have, when the aircraft is on the ground, a pressure sensor air inlet that is directed downward and an angular offset less than or equal to 45° between the axis of the air inlet of the pressure sensor and the vertical, irrespective of the position of the probe on the aircraft.

2 . The pressure measurement probe as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic board has the shape of an at least four-sided regular polygon.

3 . The pressure measurement probe as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the electronic board has the shape of a regular hexagon.

4 . The measurement probe as claimed in claim 2 , comprising two electrical connectors arranged near two sides of the polygon that are separated from one another by one side.

5 . The pressure measurement probe as claimed in claim 1 , being a static or parietal probe.

6 . The pressure measurement probe as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fixing points for the sensor board comprise holes arranged near the vertices of the polygon.
