A direction indicating device for gas flows having transsonic or supersonic speed, particularly in restricted or narrow spaces, comprises a pressure-measuring probe (1) inserted into the gas flow and a mechanism (4) for rotational and sliding adjustments of said probe, with an associated calculation unit (8), said probe having two pressure pick-up openings (5) at its upstream side, arranged in lateral side-by-side relationship, and the absence of pressure differential between the openings implying that the probe is aligned in the direction of flow. In order to provide for an increased measuring accuracy over previous types of direction indicating probes, it is suggested according to the invention that the probe (1) is formed as the front portion of a symmetrical wing section of a type codified by the National Advisory Committee of Aeronautics, NACA, USA. |
