COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE AIR FLOW VELOCITY DETERMINATION METHODS

Abstract

Study subject. The article presents the comparative analysis results of air flow speed measuring methods by using various physical principles (methods) of obtaining primary information. The task is to perform a comparative analysis of air flow speed measuring methods that based on pressure drop, as well as mechanical, thermoelectric, ultrasonic, laser and vortex methods. The goal is to assess the considered methods prospects for aircraft use. The obtained results: A comparative analysis of the main methods for airspeed measuring has been performed, and the obtained results have allowed to evaluate advantages and disadvantages of the considered methods. Conclusions: The performed comparative analysis results provided the conclusion that search for an optimal method remains actual task. The search of optimal method that will enhance the accuracy of airspeed determination with minimal implementation costs requires further research in this direction
