Abstract

See full text

A flight velocity detection system using a truncated pyramid-shape multi-e Pitot probe in which an extreme end portion has a truncated pyramid-shape, a cylindrical hole is provided at the apex thereof, a total pressure tube of a smaller diameter than that of the cylindrical hole is secured at a position by a predetermined length determined by a relationship with the diameter of the cylindrical hole from the extreme end of the cylindrical hole, and groups of pressure holes comprised of a plurality of pressure holes are arranged in each of the truncated pyramid surfaces of the truncated pyramid shape. Items of pressure information detected by the probe are input into a velocity vector processor to convert them into electric signals, and signals are processed using pressure coefficients of the holes of the probe with respect to the velocity vector stored in advance in the velocity vector processor to calculate flight velocity vector (V, .alpha., .beta.) with respect to the probe axis from the pressure information and air density.
