Abstract :
An IPS (integrated probe/sensor) transducer is described that has been designed as a single absolute-pressure transducer to measure, compute, and digitally output the pressure sensed by its attached probe. For the intended commercial flight test application, the IPS will be attached to a pilot probe. The transducer will also be connected to the aircraft´s static pressure crosstie tubing, both ends of which are connected to flush static ports, for aircraft static-pressure measurement. The IPS transducer has been designed to interface with other avionic systems through an ARINC 429 serial digital data bus
