Key Features
- 20 static pressure tappings along the chord, on the upper and lower surfaces
- Tubes pass through the aerofoil and out to clear, numbered, flexible tubes
- Tubes connect to other optional pressure-measurement instruments
- Angle of attack can be varied to study changes in pressure distribution and the critical conditions at stall
- A Pitot tube traverse of the wake gives the downstream pressure distribution and the drag
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |

| Pressure tappings | 20, static, along the chord |
| Tapping positions | Upper and lower surfaces |
| Tube outlet | Clear, numbered, flexible tubes |
About This Product
Students use the aerofoil to work out lift from measured surface pressures rather than from a direct force reading. They can check those values against a balance or another aerofoil of the same profile, and follow how the pressure pattern shifts as the angle of attack rises towards stall. Laboratories and colleges in Botswana, Grenada, Venezuela, Qatar, Bhutan and Zambia can buy the Aerofoil with Tappings through an export order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is lift found with the Aerofoil with Tappings?
Students measure the pressure distribution around the aerofoil from its 20 static pressure tappings and find the lift from it.
Can drag be found with this aerofoil?
Yes. Using a Pitot tube, students traverse the aerofoil wake to find the downstream pressure distribution and the drag.
