I'm working on a jet concept that uses EDF's of different diameters for VTOL flight (not what this thread is about) and I would like to ensure that the outlet velocities of the different EDFs are at least similar, if not identical.
Because if a hypothetical 90mm edf outputs 120mph airflow, and a 70mm only outputs 90mph airflow, the 70mm would be choked.
I'm going to create a rig to measure thrust, but would also like to measure airspeed for the above reasons.
The 'wind speed gauges' on Amazon only go up to about 90mph before the price increases from ~$30 to $80+. Is there a better setup than buying a wind speed gauge?
