IAS for sidewards and rearward hover
Hello,
It is your simulationist again. This time my question is about how successful the pitot-tube based IAS measurement for rearward and sidewards flight is ?
Since the inlet of the pitot-tube points to forward, it is surprising for me if sidewards speeds can be measured correctly as good as forward speeds. Can the IAS reliably measured when helicopter is hovered rearward or sidewards ?
Thanks!
