What constantly amazes me about this sort of "revelation" is how long it apparently took these PhD's doing post graduate work to discover what anyone without a PhD but with only an once of brains already knew by the time they had reached the third grade! :-) Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Commercial Pilot/ CFI Retired For personal email, please replace the z's with e's. dhenriquesATzarthlinkDOTnzt |

snip New research indicates that incompetent people tend not to know they are incompetent. snip Was tarver a test subject in this study? Perhaps he was the model? Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired |

John this is getting tiresome... -- -Gord. Gord, give up on tarver, now he thinks pitot tubes PRODUCE pressure. Not only that they produce TWO pressures. The poor man is beyond help. Dan, U. S. Air Force Yeh...poor chappie.. -- -Gord. |

Actually, flight-test nose booms pick up both Pitot (dynamic) and static
pressure. I'll bet the one on the X-1 did, too. Jim Thomas Bill Silvey wrote: "Ron" wrote in message om An interesting passage in General Yeagers book "Press ON".

It was the pitot tube off the Bell X-1 I picked it up and plopped down on the sofa. Normally, there's nothing terribly special about a pitot tube, which is an instrument that measures air pressure so that a pilot can find out how fast he's flying. But according to the plaque it came mounted on, this particular pitot tube had been on the nose of the X-1 on, as it said,. "10-14-47." That's the day we reached Mach 1 . . .Murac Air Base . . .

A pitot tube always picks up static and dynamic pressure; that is how Henri Pitot measured the speed of rivers with his invention. Don't bother much with Silvey, he is just a stay at home dad, with little eslse to do outside trolling ram.
