Extract

The usual method of determining the static pressure distribution about a model under test often relies on guessing the required positions of the static holes before the form of the distribution is known, and subsequently adding further holes to the model where particular interest may arise. This technique can clearly prove both tedious and expensive.

Therefore interest lies in the accuracy of representation of static pressure obtained from a static tube lying on the model surface.
