This paper presents angle of attack and angle of sideslip measurements, from a vane-based and pressure-based, dual-probe air data boom. Initial results have analysed corresponding performance of the dual probe arrangement under steady conditions using a WindShape gust tunnel. Use of this gust tunnel allows wind profiles to be programmed into the system, in spatial and temporal form. This thus allows a study of vane performance under steady and dynamic conditions, with spatial velocity gradients. The final paper will expand these steady state measurements into dynamic measurements, as part of the development of a Turbulence Suppression system.
