An air data probe () and associated method of method of measuring air data is disclosed. The air data probe includes a plurality of air pressure sensors, and a body () that encloses a hollow interior cavity (), where the body () has a generally symmetrical airfoil profile. The body () includes a plurality of projections (-) extending beyond the generally symmetrical airfoil profile, each of the plurality of projections (-) including an pressure port (-) at a distal end (-) that is in communication with the hollow interior cavity. Each of the pressure ports (-) receives a corresponding air pressure sensor (-) that is configured to collect static and dynamic air pressure data.
