BRT/ST - Total Energy Probe with Venturi Head - Fuselage - for ST1 mounting adapters
This total energy probe is designed to be mounted vertically on the sailplane fuselage. It is my understanding that fuselage mounted TE probes are not nearly as accurate as TE probes that are mounted near the top of the vertical fin - pointing forward, but sometimes a tail mounted probe is not possible or practical.

This venturi head style TE probe is a bit of an outdated design. Some motorglider manufacturers supply this type by default, but it is generally considered to be not as accurate as the RUT style TE probe above. You can replace this type of probe with an RUT style TE probe. However, this venturi style TE does offer a very classic look and looks great on a classic sailplane.
