North American Aviation Inc.
F-100 Super Sabre // Pitot Tube
Product Description
As the aircraft flies it distorts the airflow in front of itself. As speed goes up, the shockwave builds and the aircraft starts to experience ever more sonic drag. This very long F-100 Super Sabre // Pitot Tube will pierce through this thick boundary layer, into the smoother airflow in front, giving correct airspeed readings. When breaching the "sound barrier" the shockwave separates, which causes the sonic boom.
This is an original, one-of-a-kind piece. The brand is listed as "North American Aviation Inc." but this company is no longer operating. The vendor says the exact source of this piece is unknown but that it is attributed to North American Aviation Inc.
