Abstract

This paper examines the theory of a total energy variometer controlled by the pitot pressure, a scheme sug­gested by G. Vogcli. It is show that, strictly, the stiffness of the controlling capsule should  be variable with height, but that in practice a constant-stiffnes capsule will be satis­factory over an adequate range of height.
