The ATR Windshield and Probe Heating System: Protecting Vision and Data Integrity
The Evolution of Sensor and Windshield Protection Early aircraft suffered from iced-over windshields and frozen pitot tubes, leading to unreliable airspeed indications and reduced visibility. Several historical accidents were traced to blocked probes and frozen static systems. The ATR Windshield and Probe Heating System reflects decades of refinement in protecting both pilot visibility and critical […]
