Abstract

A probe fastening system has a plate having at least one coupling-on recess and having at least one alignment element, which is arranged in the outer region of the plate, a backplate which has a fastening device for the fastening of a static probe and at least one recess which corresponds with the alignment element, at least one peelable shim which corresponds with the alignment element and which is arranged between the plate and the backplate, at least one alignment device which corresponds with the alignment element, and a coupling-on element which defines a cavity and which is designed for isobarically coupling the static probe onto the coupling-on recess.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A probe fastening system, comprising:
a plate having at least one coupling-on recess and having a plurality of alignment elements arranged in an outer region of the plate, wherein the plurality of alignment elements comprises a plurality of protrusions integrally formed with the plate;
a backplate having a fastening device for the fastening of a static probe and a plurality of recesses corresponding with the plurality of alignment elements;
a plurality of peelable shims corresponding with the plurality of alignment elements and arranged between the plate and the backplate;
a plurality of alignment devices corresponding with the plurality of alignment elements; and
a coupling-on element defining a cavity and configured for isobarically coupling the static probe onto the coupling-on recess;
wherein each of the plurality of alignment elements comprises an external thread; and each of the plurality of alignment devices comprises a nut with an internal thread adapted to the external thread of a respective one of the plurality of alignment elements.

2. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein the plate has an even number of alignment elements arranged pairwise on substantially opposite sides of the plate.

3. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of alignment elements comprises eight alignment elements arranged rotationally symmetrically on the plate.

4. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of alignment elements has a laterally arranged recess; and each of the plurality of the alignment devices comprises a splint configured to be inserted into and wedged in the recess of a respective one of the plurality of alignment elements.

5. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of alignment elements comprises a cover arranged in over a respective one of the plurality of alignment elements.

6. The fastening system according to claim 1 , further comprising fastening means for fastening the plate to the backplate.

7. The fastening system according to claim 6 , wherein the fastening means comprise a peelable spacer element.

8. The fastening system according to claim 1 , wherein the backplate has a wall element and the fastening devices are formed as part of the wall element.

9. An aircraft having a fastening system according to claim 1 arranged on the fuselage of the aircraft, wherein the fastening system is arranged such that one of the alignment elements of the fastening system is oriented in a direction of flight of the aircraft.
