Abstract

An air data probe includes a strut including a socket defining an interior surface of the strut and an interior groove extending radially into the interior surface. The air data probe also includes a probe head partially positioned within the socket, the probe head including an exterior surface and an exterior groove extending radially into the exterior surface, the exterior groove being axially alignable with the interior groove. The air data probe further includes a retaining ring partially positionable within the exterior groove and partially positionable within the interior groove when the exterior groove and the interior groove are axially aligned to axially retain the probe head to the strut while allowing the probe head to rotate relative to the strut.
