Question 55
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
A Pitot tube mounted on the wing tip of an airplane flying at an altitude of 3 km measures a pressure of 0.72 bar, and the outside air temperature is 268.66 K. Take the sea level conditions as, pressure = 1.01 bar, temperature = 288.16 K, and density = 1.225 kg/m³. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s² and the gas constant is 287 J/(kg K). Assuming standard atmosphere, the equivalent airspeed for this airplane is ______ m/s (round off to two decimal place).
