static pressure port
1Static pressure — * In the design and operation of aircraft, static pressure is the air pressure in the aircraft’s static pressure system.* In fluid dynamics, static pressure is the pressure at a nominated point in a fluid. Many authors use the term static… …
2Pressure measurement — The construction of a bourdon tube gauge, construction elements are made of brass Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure pressure are called pressure gauges or vacuum gauges. A… …
3static port — A small hole, or port, in the skin of an aircraft at a suitable location where the disturbance to the airflow is the least. This is the pickup port for the static pressure for the pressure instruments. Some aircraft utilize a pitot static tube… …
4Pressure coefficient — The pressure coefficient is a dimensionless number which describes the relative pressures throughout a flow field in fluid dynamics. The pressure coefficient is used in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Every point in a fluid flow field has its own …
5pressure error — An error in pressure instruments such as an ASI (air speed indicator) or an altimeter caused by false static pressure at the static port of an aircraft in flight. Also known as installation error or position error …
6Pitot-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… …
7inlet pressure — i. The total pressure taken in the engine inlet as a measure of air density. This parameter is sent to the fuel control for fuel scheduling. It is normally known as P1 pressure. ii. As it relates to the performance data on pumps, when not… …
8pitot-static system — The pressure system for measurement of the air speed, Mach number, altitude, and vertical speed. It consists of a pitot tube and static port(s) connected suitably to each of the instruments …
9Position error — is one of the errors affecting the systems in an aircraft for measuring airspeed and altitude. [Kermode, A.C., Mechanics of Flight , 10th Edition – page 65] [”Of these errors the error in detection of static pressure is generally the most serious …
10Bernoulli's principle — This article is about Bernoulli s principle and Bernoulli s equation in fluid dynamics. For Bernoulli s Theorem (probability), see Law of large numbers. For an unrelated topic in ordinary differential equations, see Bernoulli differential… …
