Free stream and stagnation pressure measurement as principal means of determining air speed, Mach number, and altitude of aircraft; technique for compensating for deviation of measured static pressure at some location on aircraft from true free stream pressure, due to field of flow about aircraft; principle based on premise that it is possible to produce desired pressure variation with Mach number by proper choice of aerodynamic body shape and selection of location of pressure source on this body.
