What the Disappearance of the Nose Pitot Reveals About Fighter Development, and Why Airspeed Measurement Still MattersIf you are interested in modern fighter aircraft development, you may have noticed a subtle but telling detail on many prototype airframes: a long, slender airspeed probe extending from the nose. Yes, this probe is one of the most recognizable features of a prototype, and it has long served as an external marker of a fighter’s early development phase. In many cases, the presence, relocation, or removal of the air probe teaches us much about the progress of a program.

Key Considerations for Research Institutes When Customizing a Five-Hole ProbeIn advanced flow field research, research institutes rely on accurate and repeatable aerodynamic data to validate theories and support innovation. The five-hole probe stands at the center of this process, providing essential measurements of airflow velocity, direction, and pressure distribution. As experimental environments grow more complex, off-the-shelf probes often fall short. Custom five-hole probes have therefore become the preferred solution for research institutes.
