A pitot tube (10) includes an outer tube (28) extending from a first tube end (62) to second tube end (64). The second tube end (64) defines a tip portion (36) of the pitot tube (10). A tube sleeve (30) is located inside of the outer tube (28) and defines a tube passage (34) extending from the first tube end (62) to the second tube end (64). A heating element is located between the outer tube (28) and the tube sleeve (30). The heating element is isolated from airflow into the tube passage (34). A method of forming a pitot tube (10) includes installing a heating element to an outer surface of a tube sleeve (30), the tube sleeve (30) defining a tube passage (34) of the pitot tube (10). The tube sleeve (30) is secured in an outer tube (28) such that the heating element is between the tube sleeve (30) and the outer tube (28) and is isolated from airflow through the tube passage (34).
