| 31. | Is your's'type pitot tube intended for a supersonic aircraft ? t ) " 23 : 03, 28 June 2010 ( UTC)
|
| 32. | For supersonic flow, however, pitot pressure is the stagnation pressure of the flow behind the normal shock ahead of the pitot tube.
|
| 33. | Immediately after takeoff, an instrument alarm prompts the captain in command to switch to the backup pitot tube as their primary indication.
|
| 34. | Advances in the 18th century included the Bernoulli piezometer and Bernoulli's equation, by Daniel Bernoulli, and the Pitot tube, by Henri Pitot.
|
| 35. | The airspeed is derived from the difference between the ram air pressure from the pitot tube, or stagnation pressure, and the static pressure.
|
| 36. | There was a further tapping-off of pressure-ducted air from the pitot tube which also provided the rate of climb indicator with its source.
|
| 37. | It determined that the disaster was likely due to the aircraft's pitot tubes being obstructed by ice crystals, causing the autopilot to disconnect.
|
| 38. | It also blamed a Birgenair ground crew for failing to cover airspeed sensors known as pitot tubes while the plane was being serviced.
|
| 39. | A pitot tube was distinctively moved from the tip of the nose to below the nose in the majority of Mirage 5 variants.
|
| 40. | The NTSB report would later determine that the method used to clear the pitot tubes was an " . . . improper maintenance procedure"
