Beschreibung:
During lateral flight-test maneuvers of a V/STOL research aircraft, large errors in static pressure were observed. An investigation of the data showed a strong correlation of the pressure record with variations in sideslip angle. The sensors for both measurements were located on a standard air-data nose boom. This paper descries an algorithm based on potential flow over a cylinder that was developed to correct the pressure record for sideslip-induced errors. In order to properly apply the correction algorithm, it was necessary to estimate and correct the lag error in the pressure system. The method developed for estimating pressure lag is based on the coupling of sideslip activity into the static ports and can be used as a standard flight-test procedure. The paper discusses the estimation procedure and presents the corrected static-pressure record for a typical lateral maneuver. It is shown that application of the correction algorithm effectifvely attenuates sideslip-induced errors.
