AGARD Flight Test Instrumentation Series. Volume 11. Pressure and Flow Measurement

Abstract

This AGARDograph is the 11th of the AGARD Flight Test Instrumentation Series and discusses the fundamentals of pressure and flow measurement from the viewpoint of flight test instrumentation. The evolution of flight test instrumentation systems during the last decade reflects the radical changes in electronic measuring techniques. Nevertheless, the basic principles of measurement methods are essentially unchanged and the sensors for pressure and flow measurements have experienced only slight changes. An overview of modern instrumentation is given with important applications to altitude measurement, vertical and horizontal speed measurement, boundary layer, wake an engine flow measurement. The scope of this AGARDograph is to give self consistent information on the different techniques and systems and to give references for a more detailed study of special techniques. (Author)
