    Abstract: A total air temperature probe includes a housing including an inlet scoop, an outlet, a main airflow passage extending from the inlet scoop to the outlet, an exit that extends through the housing, and a total air temperature sensor flow passage and a sensor assembly positioned in the total air temperature sensor flow passage. The main airflow passage includes an upper inlet surface extending from the inlet scoop, a lower inlet surface opposite the upper inlet surface and extending from the inlet scoop, an upper outlet surface extending from the upper inlet surface to the outlet, and a lower outlet surface opposite the upper outlet surface and extending from a split point in the housing to the outlet. The total air temperature sensor flow passage branches off from the main airflow passage and extends to the exit. The upper outlet surface is consistently concave toward the outlet.

    Abstract: A sensor assembly comprises a remote data concentrator (RDC) and an optically powered transducer module (OPTM). The RDC transmits a first optical pulse including a parameter request signal along an optical fiber. The OPTM is connected to the optical fiber, and comprises a photodiode, an energy storage device, a sensor, a processor, and a laser. The photodiode receives the first optical pulse, and the energy storage device is charged by the photodiode. The sensor, processor, and laser are powered by discharging the energy storage device. The sensor senses a parameter specified by the parameter request signal. The processor generates a signal packet from the output of the first sensor. The laser transmits a second optical pulse including the signal packet along the optical fiber to the RDC
