Résumé du livre
Three types of service pitot-static were calibrated over an approximate range of speeds of 150 to 6000 miles per hour. A standard Prandtl-type pitot-static tube was calibrated over the same speed range. These calibrations included the need for a pitot-static tube having greater accuracy, especially at high speeds. A high-speed pitot-static tube was therefore designed and calibrated over the same speed range. The characteristics of this pitot-static tube were found to be comparable with those of the standard Prandtl-type pitot-static tube at low speeds, but were found to be considerably better than those of the Prandtl-type instrument at high speeds.
