Pitot Static Pressure
Asked by: Matt 18825 views Aerodynamics, Aircraft Systems, Flight Instructor
Why is ram air pressure higher than static if the ram air pressure is moving faster? Based on Bernoulli's principle one would think that the pitot tube would act somewhat like a venturi and that fast moving air would have a lower pressure compared to static presure.
