  • the present invention relates to multiple purpose air data sensing probes, which are configured to provide a reliable indication of air data parameters from a single probe, thereby reducing drag and costs .
  • the probes of the present invention are shaped so that they will not be easily damaged by objects moving from the back to the front of an aircraft. This is particularly useful in situations where the probe is installed on an aircraft used in situations where air to air refueling occurs, in that the fuel ports are to the rear (i.e. downstream) of the probes.
  • the basket and hose from the refueling tanker will many times drag or slide along the fuselage from the back toward the front of the aircraft being refueled.
  • the refueling hose or basket can be trapped and the probe damaged or even ripped off.
  • Known rotatable couplings are used to carry individual pressure signals from multiple ports on the probe to the aircraft sensing circuits .
