Abstract:
An aircraft pressure measurement device includes a pressure sensor, a pressure measurement path, a valve, and a fluid port. The pressure measurement path extends between an aircraft skin and the pressure sensor, and the valve is positioned within the pressure measurement path between the aircraft skin and the pressure sensor. The valve is configured to regulate airflow through the pressure measurement path, and the fluid port is configured to allow a pressurized fluid into the pressure measurement path to clear the pressure measurement path of debris. The improved pressure measurement device allows the aircraft to automatically clear debris from the pressure measurement path both during flight and while on the ground, removing the need for manual cleaning processes.
