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. Air data computer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_data_computer

   As all information from the sensors is transmitted electrically, routing of pitot and static pressure lines through the aircraft and associated maintenance tasks is avoided. [ 5 ] In simpler aircraft and helicopters, the air data computers, generally two in number, and smaller, lighter and simpler than an ADIRU, may be called air data units ...

4. 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 ...

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 ...

6. Flight instruments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_instruments

   The cockpit of a Slingsby T-67 Firefly two-seat light airplane.The flight instruments are visible on the left of the instrument panel. Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with data about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, heading and much more other crucial information in flight.

7. Air data boom - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_data_boom

   X-15 rocket-powered research aircraft, with nose air data boom. An air data boom provides air pressure, temperature, and airflow direction data to data acquisition systems for the computation of air, ground, and water vehicle orientation, speed, altitude/depth, and related information.

9. 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.
