Abstract

A high response air angle probe to measure a flow direction in an air flow near or above Mach one. The probe is rotatably secured within an assembly with marking to indicate when a desired position of the probe within the air flow has been found. The probe includes a row of three high response pressure transducers on a leading edge region to detect when the probe is at a certain position within the air flow.
