2. Pitot–static system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot–static_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]

3. Pitot tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube

   A pitot-static system generally consists of a pitot tube, a static port, and the pitot-static instruments. [5] Errors in pitot-static system readings can be extremely dangerous as the information obtained from the pitot static system, such as airspeed, is potentially safety-critical. Several commercial airline incidents and accidents have been ...

4. Air data computer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_data_computer

   They commonly have the pitot and static pressure inputs, as well as outside air temperature from a platinum resistance thermometer and may control heating of the pitot tube and static vent to prevent blockage due to ice. On simpler aircraft, there is usually not a fly-by-wire system so the outputs are typically to the cockpit altimeters or ...

5. F-14 CADC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-14_CADC

   The F-14's Central Air Data Computer, also abbreviated as CADC, computes altitude, vertical speed, air speed, and mach number from sensor inputs such as pitot and static pressure and temperature. [1] From 1968 to 1970, the first CADC to use custom digital integrated circuits was developed for the F-14 .

6. Air data module - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_data_module

   Illustration of the airspeed indication and detection system on fly-by-wire aircraft. An air data module is a component of the navigation system. [1] Each unit converts pneumatic (air pressure) information from a pitot tube or a static port into numerical information which is sent on a data bus. [2]

7. Trailing cone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailing_Cone

   It does this by giving an accurate measurement of the ambient atmospheric pressure (static pressure) well clear of the aircraft's fuselage. The trailing cone system trails at least one fuselage length behind the aircraft (SpaceAge Control) via a high-strength pressure tube. Static pressure is measured forward of the cone by several static ports.
