Investigation of the Aerodynamic and Icing Characteristics of a Recessed Fuel Cell Vent Assembly 1: Rear Wall Vent Tube Mounting

An investigation conducted in the icing research tunnel on a ramp type recessed fuel cell vent assembly to determine its aerodynamic, rain, and icing characteristics. Although the vent-tube openings are located in the region of maximum ramp pressure, vent-tube static pressures are marginal for a low flight speed.
