Abstract: Support device (1) for probe (2) to measure the physical characteristics of air in contact with an aerodynamic surface (3) comprises: a rod (9) affixed to a probe (2) to distance probe (2) from an aerodynamic surface (3) such that probe (2) measures the air undisturbed by the aerodynamic surface (3); a support (4) adapted to be affixed to the aerodynamic surface (3) to which the foregoing rod (9) is connected such that support (4) permits rotation of rod (9) about the principal axis (12) of probe (9) to calibrate the position of probe (2) and such that the rotation of rod (9) may be locked once the position of probe (2) has been calibrated. An aerodynamic surface (3) comprising device (1), and a method for the calibration of probe (2) to measure the physical characteristics of the air in contact with an aerodynamic surface (3) are also disclosed.

Abstract: Support device (10) for a camera (1) situated on the outer surface of an aircraft, which comprises a housing element (2) which houses internally the camera (1) and an external aerodynamic element (6) which covers externally the device (10), said device comprising support means (4) and adjusting elements (12) such that, when the adjusting elements (12) are tightened, the support means (4) keep the housing element (2) and the camera (1) in a fixed position and with a fixed orientation so that pictures may be taken by the camera (1) and, when the adjusting elements (12) are not tightened, the housing element (2) and the camera (1) may be rotated with three degrees of freedom relative to the support means (4).
