| Abstract: | The results of a study of the factors involved in the design of total-temperature probes for use at supersonic speeds have been applied to the design of an instrument to be used in wind-tunnel calibrations. Tests of the probe showed that the calibration factor required in the conversion of the measured temperature to the true total temperature was 0.992 pluse or minus 0.002 for a range of Mach numbers between 1.36 and 2.01. The calibration factor was insensitive to angles of inclination relative to the air stream up to 9 degrees at a Mach number of 1.50. |
