Abstract
The invention relates to a device for determining total temperature for aircraft. This device is particularly useful in a probe, called a multifunction probe, for measuring several aerodynamic parameters such as, for example, the total pressure (Pt), the static pressure (Ps) and the total temperature (TT) of an airflow surrounding the aircraft. The device includes a deiced temperature probe. To obtain the total temperature (TTcorrected) of the airflow, the temperature (TTmeasured) recorded by the temperature probe is corrected as a function of the upstream infinity parameters (M∞, Pt∞, Ps∞) of the aircraft and of the power (P) dissipated in the probe in order to deice it.
