Abstract:

Results of preliminary tests of an air-speed head mounted on a freely falling body are prescribed. Measurements were made throughout the transonic speed range. Details and dimensions of the airspeed head and the body are given along with variations of static pressure, total pressure, and Mach number with time from release of the test body. A comparison of two methods of airspeed measurements and measured static pressure error is made in graphs.
