Kevlon Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I've always wounderd what this is on the SU 27, my guess would be something they mesured airspeed with? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Bublik Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Yes, it is an auxiliary pitot tube. WR=210=Vladimir http://lockon-vpg.nm.ru http://whiteravens.nm.ru http://white-ravens.com
F l a n k e r Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I have a better pic of the tube. There is also a good diagram at http://www.efunda.com/designstandards/sensors/pitot_tubes/pitot_tubes_theory.cfm or http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/pitot.html.
