  • Air data system
    Patent number: 9366555
    Abstract: An air data system including a housing, a bore, a dynamic port, a static port, a gas permeable membrane, and a device configured to determine a pressure differential. The bore may be located within the housing and may extend from an inlet for receiving air flow to an outlet. The dynamic port may be located in the bore and be configured and positioned to receive air passing through the bore. The static port may be configured and positioned to receive unmoving or ambient air. The device may determine the pressure differential between dynamic air received at the dynamic port and static air received at the static port. And the membrane may span the dynamic port, the static port, or both and is configured to direct moisture away from the port which it spans.
