Figure 53 illustrates the flow at 10 knots around the T50 single head (shallow) without front
fairing. The drag on the pole, sonar head, and bracket is in the region of 1000N. The same
situation without front fairing is shown in
Figure 51 .

Figure 54 is a cross section of the symmetry plane of the T50 single head (shallow). Without the
front fairing the flow is still reasonable, but not as steady as with the fairing in front of the receiver.
The same situation with front fairing is shown in
Figure 52 .
