Airplane

Can this work on a truck. Excuse my ignorance but I ma not sure how it works. Does it work by measuring the varible wind speed above and below the wing?

Excerpt from http://www.omega.com/literature/tran...pressure.html:

Quote:

Differential pressure transducers often are used in flow measurement where they can measure the pressure differential across a venturi, orifice, or other type of primary element. The detected pressure differential is related to flowing velocity and therefore to volumetric flow.

He he, they said "orifice". :smile:

It is just nice to know that an orifice is considered a primary element... I have always thought so myself.

Glad I could help!

I would also be interested to see if the item you linked to would work on the ground... I have a radar gun so I guess that I really do not need it...
