    Abstract: A vented module includes a housing portion having a drainage side and a drainage port within the drainage side. The module further includes a flame arrestor including a first surface having a fluid inlet, a second surface having at least one fluid outlet, a labyrinth channel extending from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, and at least one mesh screen disposed within the labyrinth channel. The flame arrestor is attached to the housing portion such that the drainage port is aligned with the fluid inlet.

    Abstract: A system includes an air data computer (ADC) having a single pneumatic port for receiving a pneumatic input, a plurality of electrical inputs for receiving one or more electrical signals, and an output. The ADC can transmit, via the output, air data parameters based on the received pneumatic input and the received one or more electrical signals. In a further example embodiment, the system includes a first pressure sensing probe discrete from the ADC and a pneumatic connection joining a pressure sensing port of the first probe to the pneumatic input of the ADC. Second and third pressure sensing probes pneumatically coupled to respective pressure modules, which output electrical signals to the ADC, the electrical signals being representative of pressures sensed by the second and third pressure sensing probes, respectively.

    Abstract: An angle of attack sensing system includes a rotatable vane, a first pressure sensing port, a second pressure sensing port, a vane position sensor, and a fault detector. The rotatable vane includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first pressure sensing port is disposed in the first surface. The second pressure sensing port is disposed in the second surface. The vane position sensor is configured to output a rotational position signal of the rotatable vane. The fault detector is configured to output an indication of a rotational fault condition based on a difference between a first sensed pressure from the first pressure sensing port and a second sensed pressure from the second pressure sensing port.
