Abstract
This article is a summary of conclusions drawn from theoretical work, wind tunnel experiments and in-flight measurements....to explain the differences which exist between the real response of the total energy variometer and its ideal behavior. We believe that the results....will help a pilot to better understand the response of the variometer or to improve an existing system...
