Air data probe with improved performance at angle of attack operation

An air data probe has a pitot tube with a tap at a forward end that defines an inner flow path. The inner flow path decreases in the cross-sectional area until reaching a throat. The inner flow path has cross-sections that are generally cylindrical and also has sections of removed material.
