A Pitot-static probe is used to measure the speed of an aircraft
flying at β„Ž=h= 3908 π‘šm. If the differential pressure
reading is 3.5 π‘˜π‘ƒπ‘ŽkPa, determine the speed of the
aircraft.
Given that the temperature, pressure, and density at
altitude β„Žh can be calculated as:
𝑇(𝐾𝑒𝑙𝑣𝑖𝑛)=15.04βˆ’0.00649Γ—β„ŽT(Kelvin)=15.04βˆ’0.00649Γ—h
𝑃(π‘ƒπ‘Ž)=101290(𝑇+273.1288.08)5.256P(Pa)=101290(T+273.1288.08)5.256
𝜌(π‘˜π‘”/π‘š3)=𝑃286.9(𝑇+273.1
