A pitot-static system is a system of pressure-sensitive instruments that is used on aircraft to determine an Aircrafts 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.This equipment is used to measure the forces acting on a vehicle as a function … Read more
A pitot tube is a pressure measurement instrument used to measure fluid flow velocity. It is widely used to determine the airspeed of an aircraft, water speed of a boat, and to measure liquid, air and gas flow velocities in industrial applications. The pitot tube is used to measure the local flow velocity at a … Read more
A radome is a structural protection given to an antenna against weather and undesired physical interference. The radome material allows passage of relatively unattenuated electromagnetic signal across it. Radomes also come in other shapes and for other purposes. The big rotating “discus” or “flying saucer” on top of an AWACS airplane is a type of … Read more
