Abstract: A pressure measuring rake, intended for arrangement on a link rod, includes at least: a sheath including two side walls which between them delimit a recess configured to receive the link rod, and an electronic circuit arranged on the sheath and including at least one sensor, the measuring rake additionally including at least one conductive layer at least partially covering the sheath and a conductive strip, the conductive layer and the conductive strip being configured to be electrically connected to at least one conductive element configured to drain off charges that are liable to build up on the conductive layer, the measuring rake making it possible to avoid the build-up of electrostatic charges liable to disrupt measurements taken by the sensors and/or electrical communications between the sensors and a data processing unit.

Abstract: A device for measuring the accretion of ice on a studied surface. The device has two arms, a first arm and a second arm, the second arm forming an enclosure for housing an image acquisition system disposed to acquire, through an orifice, images of a part of the studied surface located on the first arm. The device thus makes it possible to dissociate the support of the image acquisition system from that of the studied surface on which ice accumulates. Consequently, it is possible to place the second arm in the direction of the flow of the stream of air flowing along the aircraft while the first arm passes through the stream.

Abstract: The measuring device includes a substrate intended to be arranged on an aerodynamic surface; a profiled element connected at one of its ends to the substrate, and configured to be oriented, under the effect of the fluid flow; a magnet that is secured to the profiled element and is configured to generate a magnetic field; and a measuring element that is configured to measure a value of the magnetic field and to convert this measured value of the magnetic field into an angle value indicating the direction of the fluid flow; the measuring device thus making it possible to measure and provide, in real-time, a numerical angle value with which it is possible to define with high precision the direction of the fluid flow relative to the aerodynamic surface.

Abstract: A device measures a flight parameter of an aircraft which has a radome. Systems measure the deformation of a wall of the radome due to forces exerted by the air on the radome. A computer computes the flight parameter from deformation measurements obtained by the systems. The systems have an optical fiber carried by the radome provided with Bragg gratings. Each fiber has a plurality of Bragg gratings distributed over a length of the fiber so as to distribute the Bragg gratings over the radome when the fiber is installed.

Abstract: A device for measuring at least one flight parameter such as the airspeed, the sideslip angle or the angle of attack, or any other parameter dependent thereon, of an aircraft including a radome, including systems for measuring the deformation of the radome wall due to forces exerted by the air on the radome and a computer for computing from deformation measurements obtained by the systems the required flight parameter or parameters. The systems include at least one optical fiber carried by the radome provided with Bragg gratings, each fiber including a plurality of Bragg gratings distributed over a length of the fiber so as to distribute the Bragg gratings over the radome when the fiber is installed.

Abstract: A device and method of simple design for measuring displacement between a first part and a second part that are substantially coaxial, preferably mounted on one another by an annular linear link. The device includes a structure for mounting the device on the part, blades secured to the structure and bearing on an outer surface of an intermediate member, the member being mounted around the part, at least one strain/deformation sensor associated with each blade, the sensors configured to transmit output signals dependent on the levels of deformation of the blades, and a conversion unit configured to deliver, from the output signals, at least one datum corresponding to the relative position of the parts, preferably out of an azimuth angle, an elevation angle and an axial displacement.
