Meanwhile the airflow is not disturbed by the boundary layer does not mind is decelerated or accelerated. Is almost impossible to introduce it at undisturbed flow except by setting the pitot in the front of the fuselage | |

Notice that you put on the table 2 airplanes with propelers, the pitot needs to be far for the properler downwash to avoid interference. | |
