Note presenting the effect of inclination of the airstream on the static pressure measured by two essentially similar service pitot-static tubes and by one of those tubes with three modified orifice arrangements as determined in flight. Results regarding initial calibrations at Mach numbers from 0.20 to 0.24 and the final orifice configuration are provided.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
