Airfoil Shaped Flow Angle Probe
US Patent:
6526821, Mar 4, 2003
Filed:
Jul 18, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/909166
Inventors:
Stephen Corda - Rosamond CA
Michael Jake Vachon - Rosamond CA
Michael Jake Vachon - Rosamond CA
Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01C 2100
US Classification:
73186, 73178 R
Abstract:
The present invention is a force-based instrument that measures local flow angle. The preferred embodiment of the invention has a low aspect ratio airfoil member connected to a mounting base. Using a series of strain gauges located at the connecting portion of the probe, aerodynamic forces on the airfoil member can be converted to strain, which in turn can be converted to local air flow measurements. The present invention has no moving parts and is well suited for measuring flow in a transonic and supersonic regime.
