    abstract = {Current research at the Institute of Jet Propulsion focuses on the design and optimiza-
tion of s-shaped engine inlet congurations. The distorted 
ow caused within such inlet
ducts should be limited to ensure an optimal performance, stability, and durability of the
engines compressor system. Direct-connect experiments at the engine test bed of the In-
stitute of Jet Propulsion with s-shaped engine inlets are in preparation. A measurement
rake will be utilized during these experiments to determine the 
ow distortion entering
the gas turbine engine. The in
uence of the number as well as the positioning of pressure
probes within the rake on the evaluation of both pressure and swirl distortion is therefore
investigated. The Society of Automotive Engineers1 recommends the use of a measurement
rake comprising 40 probes covering equally area-weighted arc segments. The current work
shows that pressure distortion analysis with this specic rake design leads to fairly good
results, though the use of such a rake can lead to large errors when swirl distortion is
analyzed. The presented results will moreover be used to dene an optimized operating
procedure with a traversable measurement rake during experimental investigations at the
institute's engine test bed to reduce engine operating time and assure a secure operation
of test vehicles.},
