Hi,
Machinbird
Those guys designing aircraft pitot tubes really have been stuck in the dark ages.
Henri Pitot would not like his name being associated to dark ages.
Now on i will change from SUBHEATED AS PROBES to
OBSOLETE sensors,
(controlling SOPHISTICATED Systems)
PS
The pressing iron i carry in my motor home has a thermostat.
The ones i have in my house are SUPER ADVANCED.

Seems to me that pitot tube heating design is stuck in the 1930's.
1930?
When i visited the Gold mine museum in Joburg i did see ADVANCED devices. And the mine operated well before that year.
