Abstract
A total air temperature probe for measuring total air temperature includes a head having an airflow inlet, a main airflow exit, and a flow separation bend positioned between the airflow inlet and the main airflow exit. A plurality of bleed holes are in the flow separation bend. A bleed port air exit is coupled to the plurality of bleed holes. The head geometry is configured to provide enhanced deicing heater error (DHE) performance.
