Square that with your statement: ( direct quote )
"No pitot tube silly bunny.
It would be profoundly stupid to put a home for mud wasps on an airplane
flying as much as a 727."

The 727 has a pitot port and a static port, idiot Knoyle. You might want to
note that your ignorance of trying to add pitot and static pressures from a
pitot tube demonstrates that you are also incompetent WRT pitot static
systems in general.

You remember, a pitot port is that thing you were mis-describing when Gord

Hang on here a second now Jim, you still need two samples. As Dan
says you need 'static pressure' to read the altitude from and you
need 'pitot pressure' (ram air pressure) as well as the static
pressure to derive the airspeed reading from. Sounds like you're
saying that you can read 'both' from just the 'ram air pressure'
alone. Or did I misunderstand you?

Jim has finally figued out what a pitot tube is, but somehow he still wants
to be correct in his archive troll. It is a great paradox.
