Problem 4. High-speed aircraft use "air data computers" to compute air speed from Pitot-static tube measurements of the stagnation pressure and static pressure. (a) Plot the percent error in computing the Mach number assuming incompressibility (thus, using the Bernoulli equation) versus actual Mach number for Ma = 0.1 to Ma=0.9. (b) For an aircraft cruising at an altitude of z = 12 km, plot the speed calculated assuming incompressible flow and accounting for compressibility versus actual Mach number for Ma = 0.1 to Ma = 0.9.
