Claim Text:
1. A method for measuring static pressure, the method comprising: positioning a tube within a hole in a structure in which the hole has a hole diameter that is larger than a tube diameter of the tube such that a gap is formed between the tube and the hole and such that a first portion of deflected fluid that is deflected from a flow of fluid passing over the hole enters the gap and a second portion of the deflected fluid enters the tube, wherein positioning includes positioning the tube within the hole such that an offset is formed between an end of the tube and an end of the hole and the end of the tube is located below a shear layer formed near a boundary between the fluid flowing past the hole and the deflected fluid; and measuring the static pressure of the fluid at a location of the hole with the tube positioned within the hole.
