For the 747 that carried the Space Shuttles, consider the cylindrical strut that supported the nose of the Shuttle (see photo). Assuming potential flow about a cylinder, estimate the pressure on the strut at the leading edge, and at 45 from the leading edge. Assume 12 inch diameter, 20,000 ft altitude, standard atmosphere, and 185knots airspeed. Endeavour copyoge.
