Question:
And how is it related to the pitot-static system on jet airplanes?
Answers:
How far away is a jet airliner when you can first see it's contrail just above the horizon?
Like Bitburger, I have never heard the term, but I imagine you are referring to the system that senses an aircraft's current Mach number. If this is the case, it is definitely related to the pitot-static system. Mach is another form of airspeed indication. Airspeed indicators are driven by the pitot system (the probes pointing forward with small holes in front). They also use the static system (probes or spots on side of plane that are not facing into the airstream). These two sensors provide input to an Air Data Computer(ADC) to create Indicated Airspeed, which must be corrected for position error, either manually, or on most modern aircraft with a Digital Air Data Computer (DADC). Another function of the ADC or DADC is to take inputs from the Total Air Temperature Probe. It will convert this to a Static Air Temperature and use that, combined with the airspeed to develop a Mach number (ratio of speed to speed of sound). If an airplane is doing .75 Mach, it is moving at 75% of the speed of sound for the current temperature of air it is moving in.where can i find clippings on s211 jet trainer airplane?
That requires a lot of mathmatical eqasions and your best bet is to ask an aviation electronics specialist.why is a 747 called a humbo jet, it does not have big ears or a trunk..durrr?
It transduces the mach on jet air planesIn aviation terms, what is the difference in a near miss and a near hit? Are they not the same?
Never heard this particular term, but it probably attaches to the pitot system and converts the pressure to a mach number instead of airspeed in knots.More Questions & Answers ...
