Shall we go back to your assertions about pitot tubes?


If you like, NASA Dryden has added the screened over static port to their
website since we began the discussion.

I said "pitot tube" not "static port."


Right, you don't have a clue how a transport is instrumented for air data,
Dan.

A pitot tube provids both static and pitot ports, but the pitot tube is
unreliable, so 40 years ago most transports switched to static ports and
pitot ports.

So Dan, what did you do in the Air force? I hope it was some job where you
might have at least some knowledge of avionics; otherwise, you mostly speak
out of turn.
