Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a metallic layer positioned at least partially on an insulating material coupled to a fuselage of an aircraft. The sensor assembly further includes a pair of terminals arranged at opposite ends of the metallic layer and a temperature probe thermally coupled to the metallic layer. The metallic layer is heated by a heater thermally coupled to the metallic layer. The temperature probe is used to determine a rate of cooling for the metallic layer, responsive to an air flow over the metallic layer.
