A sensor assembly includes a housing and a tube. The housing has a first leading edge portion which is capable of being located in a compressor/fan inlet flow path and which includes an interior wall section. The tube has a proximal portion including an air inlet which is adapted to receive a compressor bleed air flow and a distal portion which is located in the housing and which includes at least one air outlet hole. The hole is spaced apart from the interior wall section and is aligned to direct at least some compressor bleed air flow to impinge against the interior wall section. The housing includes an opening which receives air from the flow path when the housing is located in the flow path, wherein the opening is adapted for fluid communication with a sensor, and wherein the sensor measures at least one of air temperature and air pressure.

A booster compressor includes inlet guide vanes supported from a shroud. A shell surrounds the shroud and defines a manifold. A splitter nose includes a groove receiving a forward tang of the shroud with a clearance therebetween defining an outlet for the manifold. Hot air is channeled through the manifold and out the splitter nose for deicing thereof.
