Air Data Probe

A method of measuring air data comprising:

• providing an air data probe including a body that generally encloses a hollow interior cavity, the body having a generally symmetrical airfoil profile, wherein the body includes a plurality of projections extending beyond the generally symmetrical airfoil profile;
• and
• measuring local static and dynamic air pressure through pressure ports disposed in the plurality of projections using a plurality of air pressure sensors, wherein the projections extend beyond the symmetrical airfoil surface by a distance that is greater than or at least equal to the thickness of a boundary layer, wherein the distance allows for measurement of the local static pressure that is induced by freestream air flow velocity of an airfoil when the airfoil moves relative to air.
