The trouble with this is whoever wrote it got it wrong.
Blue is high pressure and red is low pressure!

I agree, of course. On the SQ2000 that I have, the factory cooling scoops
are located right in the middle of that dark blue area above the wing, on
the first picture, where the cowling starts, to the rear of the canopy. If
this is accurate, it would appear that my inlet scoops were fairly well
placed for pressure?  Thanks, Paul .   Paul Conner

Here are a few more pressure plots.

    Correct, Paul,
    the colors actually represent airspeed locally and therefore red
    is high speed air at low static pressure and, blue is lower speed,
    therefore higher static pressure.  Cya, Dave McC
