Hey, Splaps. Next time you are ever near a DADC or it's diagram,
check out what they have at the other end of the tubing connected
to the fitting labeled *TOTAL*. Only ONE pitot tube!

Yep, the term Total means they added two sensors.

Nope, the pitot tube detects static pressure + impact pressure.
Read the book(s).

I have been writing that to you for years, Knoyle. That is why you seem
such an idiot when you insist a pitot port is a pitot tube.

Total means there is more than one sensor, nothing more.

You really don't understand how that one little opening on the end
of that pointy thing up front can detect static pressure (altitude)
as well as impact pressure (airspeed), do you. That's sad!
