Abstract

This paper considers an air pressure probe, the head part of which is made in the form of a polyhedron inscribed into a sphere. Wind tunnel testing of the probe models is performed, a mathematical model and an algorithm are constructed to calculate all the altitude and airspeed parameters, and an error estimation is given.
