Calibration of the NCAR Sabreliner Research Static Pressure Source With a Trailing Cone Assembly

Trailing cone results verify that pressure corrections for the NCAR Sabreliner derived from tower flyby data can be extrapolated to higher Mach numbers and higher altitudes with valid results. Residual static pressure errors are small, on the order of 0.1-0.3 mb, corresponding to altitude errors of 20-30 ft for altitudes of 15,000-39,000 ft and Mach numbers of 0.59-0.76.
