[0027] Please refer to Figure 1The total static pressure and total temperature sensor is a straight rod type structure, which is composed of a pipe body 1, a total pressure cavity 2, a static pressure cavity 3, a gas-water separator 4, a total pressure hole 5, a static pressure hole 6, a retardation cavity 7 and a temperature sensitive element 8.

[0028] The number of the static pressure holes is six, two of which are symmetrically distributed above and below in the vertical direction, two of which are symmetrically distributed about the static pressure hole above the vertical direction with an included angle of 60°±1°, and the remaining two of which are symmetrically distributed about the static pressure hole below the vertical direction with an included angle of 75°±1°.

[0032] The axial distance between the front end face of the static pressure hole and the total pressure hole is 50mm, so as to ensure the accuracy of total static pressure sensing.

[0033] The outer surface of the pipe body is provided with a compensation profile, which starts from the front end face of the total pressure hole and ends at 20mm behind the static pressure hole.
