Latest Patents

The supplied information identifies one patent for Serge Petit: “Aerodynamic Measurement Probe.” The invention describes a probe support with a circular cover and central opening for a mobile shaft. Its outer surface has a rotationally symmetrical frustoconical face. The cover is made from polyether ether ketone reinforced with glass or carbon fibers, with thermal conductivity below 3 W·m·K, and includes metallic inserts at its fastenings. At least one electrical-continuity insert is configured to connect the probe’s inner part electrically to an interface on a metallic insert beneath the lower periphery of the insert section farthest from the shaft. The design addresses aerodynamic measurement and electrical continuity in an aircraft-mounted probe. The supplied patent count is 1 patent.
