Guess the aircraft spare

[knight]

If anyone would care to have a guess? It should be quite easy for a knowledgeable bunch like you lot

[sherman]

Titanium flange

Pitot tube?

A non-reversible gleeb shloker with paracentric flugal oscillator thrust tube mount. Mkiii.

It's more closely linked to the MKIV!

You should probably put that back.

You really think they'll notice

Just make sure it isn't one off an Air France A330...

It looks heat discoloured.

That's because they get hot. Really surprisingly hot. They certainly melt the protective boots very quickly, don't ask how I know.

[Eric Mc]

I know they have heaters built into them to prevent icing but do they suffer aerodynamic heating too?

Do we get extra points for guessing which aircraft that's for, I'm going with a 737?

Been there, done that. On a Sea King Mk5.

Is it a Ti part? That looks really hot indeed!

hope OP is not in China

Extra points for guessing the price tag…

I think these are eye watering? I remember we needed a replacement on the 737 a long time ago. I guessed a high number and I was an order of magnitude too low.

Does all the measuring get done in that thing or does the air get piped elsewhere? And why are there two connectors? I'm assuming the outer two are the bolts.

Shouldn't get much - aero heating at Mach 1 is about 20%, so 40-50C, and as its cold at cruising altitude it's probably no hotter than parked on the runway.
