SYSTEM FOR REMOTE MONITORING OF AERODYNAMIC FLOW CONDITIONS

摘要

A system (1) for monitoring aerodynamic flow conditions over an aerodynamic member is provided. The system (1) includes a cantilevered arm (16) having a first conductive lead (18) configured for movement relative to a second conductive lead (20) for selective contact therewith in alternative response to a presence or absence of a turbulent air (22) flow thereover. In addition, the system (1) includes a circuit (24) comprising the first conductive lead (18) and the second conductive lead (20). A continuity condition in the circuit (24) between the first conductive lead (18) and the second conductive lead (20) is indicative of the presence or absence of the turbulent air flow (22).
