Actually, flight-test nose booms pick up both Pitot (dynamic) and static
pressure. I'll bet the one on the X-1 did, too.

I bet the X-1 had a pitot-static tube witch detects pitot and static
pressure.
In fact he said "pitot tube" which only detects pitot pressure. There
really is
a difference between a pitot and a pitot-static tube. Then tarver came
along
and said a pitot tube "produces" pressure. Neither a pitot tube nor a
pitot
static tube produces pressure, they simply sense them.

First, during the period of the X-1, and for many years thereafter,
the common practice was for the pitot tube to provide dynamic pressure

Pitot port, a pitot tube is Henri pitot's invention and it provides both
static and dynamic pressure. Don't get too involved in Dan's mental
illness, Ed.
