Abstract
An aerodynamic measurement probe comprises a part to be sited in the region of the skin of an aircraft and means for heating the part. The heating means comprise a thermodynamic loop comprising a closed circuit in which a heat-transfer fluid circulates, the closed circuit comprising an evaporator and a zone in which the heat-transfer fluid can be condensed in the appendage in order to heat it. Outside the evaporator, the circuit in which the fluid circulates is formed by a tubular duct of open cross section.
