  2. Pitot tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube

    This example, from an Airbus A380, combines a pitot tube (right) with a static port and an angle-of-attack vane (left). Air-flow is right to left. Types of pitot tubes A pitot-static tube connected to a manometer Pitot tube on Kamov Ka-26 helicopter A Formula One car during testing with frames holding many pitot tubes Location of pitot tubes on ...

  3. Pitot–static system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitotstatic_system

    A pitot–static system is a system of pressure-sensitive instruments that is most often used in aviation to determine an aircraft's airspeed, Mach number, altitude, and altitude trend. A pitot–static system generally consists of a pitot tube, a static port, and the pitot–static instruments. [1]

  4. Indicated airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicated_airspeed

    Indicated airspeed measured by pitot-tube can be approximately expressed by the following equation delivered from Bernoulli's equation. () NOTE: The above equation applies only to conditions that can be treated as incompressible. Liquids are treated as incompressible under almost all conditions.

  5. Airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed

    The measurement and indication of airspeed is ordinarily accomplished on board an aircraft by an airspeed indicator (ASI) connected to a pitot-static system. The pitot-static system comprises one or more pitot probes (or tubes) facing the on-coming air flow to measure pitot pressure (also called stagnation, total or ram pressure) and one or ...

  8. Stagnation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagnation_Pressure

    The two points of interest are 1) in the freestream flow at relative speed where the pressure is called the "static" pressure, (for example well away from an airplane moving at speed ); and 2) at a "stagnation" point where the fluid is at rest with respect to the measuring apparatus (for example at the end of a pitot tube in an airplane).

  9. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    A pitot tube is used to measure fluid flow velocity. The tube is pointed into the flow and the difference between the stagnation pressure at the tip of the probe and the static pressure at its side is measured, yielding the dynamic pressure from which the fluid velocity is calculated using Bernoulli's equation. A volumetric rate of flow may be ...
