And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Air data probe used during test flights, there's also a rear trailing cone you can't see in this image. https://theaviationist.com/2023/11/11/the-first-flight-of-the-b-21-revealed-some-interesting-details-of-the-new-bomber/
pitot tube-most often located on the wing or front section of an aircraft, facing forward, where its opening is exposed to the relative wind. By situating the pitot tube in such a location, the ram air pressure is more accurately measured since it will be less distorted by the aircraft's structure.
Pitot-static tube for flight testing mounted on the prototype aircraft. The normal pitot tube will be a lot shorter to prevent damage. The flight test pitot tube will give a true airspeed reading, the normal pitot tube will give an indicated airspeed reading as air flow will be affected by the aircraft. Al_in_Ottawa
Often part of the doors close again when the gear had dropped out and re-open once the retraction cycle commences. There looks to be closed doors behind the nose wheel but not sure about the mains.

Winner.
DeleteThis is only found on testing prototypes, not production models.
Not found on production models because it messes up the radar signature.
DeleteThat's fer stabbin'.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think most interesting is how the gear articulates to retract into the relatively small gear well. I wonder if overcenter locks are used.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a good, old fashioned pitot tube.
