Ritchie and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tests were conducted in transonic wind tunnels to investigate and verify experimentally methods for aerodynamically reducing errors due to sensor position, bow-wave passage, and angle of attack. The results indicated that aerodynamics devices of simple design may be employed to reduce errors in sensing static pressure to less than 0.5 percent at Mach numbers from about 0.40 to 1.15.
