Experiences Plan Approach for Static Pressure Reliability; Case Study: Aircrafts Pitot Sensors
Abstract
The measurement accuracy of volumetric airflow velocity is a real issue for aircraft. Several aeronautical accidents derive from Pitot sensors static and total pressure measurements. To control and assess Pitot sensors measurement inaccuracy, several techniques and methods are proposed. This paper deals with the need to improve Pitot sensors static ports efficiency by controlling static pressure measurement in order to define measurement inaccuracy factors and therefore to reduce critical situations deriving from this issue.
