Two New Types of Ultrafast Aircraft Thermometer

A new version of an ultrafast aircraft resistance thermometer (UFT-F) with a time constant of the order 10(-4)s, for use in both cloudy and cloudless air, is described. Its sensing element is similar to that in UFT-S and consists of a 5-mm-long and 2.5mum-thick platinum-coated tungsten wire, located...

Description
Summary:A new version of an ultrafast aircraft resistance thermometer (UFT-F) with a time constant of the order 10(-4)s, for use in both cloudy and cloudless air, is described. Its sensing element is similar to that in UFT-S and consists of a 5-mm-long and 2.5mum-thick platinum-coated tungsten wire, located on a rotatable vane behind a thin vertical rod that protects the sensor against direct impact of cloud droplets and other objects.
