That is very nice, scat and go read your book.


Done that John. The book is a standard engineering text at a local
university. Came across it while tutoring a couple of students. Using
it to expand my mind and refresh what I've forgetten over time.

That is a good idea, but you may wish to return to the classics, like
Halliday and Resnik where a pitot tube is is described and diagramed. Henri
Pitot's invention measured both static and dynamic pressure and your book is
crap. A pitot tube alone provides the data necessary to instrument IAS.
Books are often written by the ignorant and you may want to have a
discussion with the Engineering chair at the University.

Yes, probably way more engineering than anyone at your University.
