- Summary
-
Summary: Tests were made in high-speed dives and pull-outs to determine, by combined radar-optical tracking equipment, the static-pressure error of an airspeed-head installation on a P-51B airplane. The installation included a pitot-static head mounted on a boom 95 percent chord ahead of the leading edge of the wing near the tip. The tests were made in dives at flight Mach numbers up to 0.75 and included pull-outs up to 4g normal acceleration. The results indicated that the static-pressure error did not vary with Mach number by more than about 1 percent of the impact pressure over the range of conditions investigated.
