Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 34P
An aircraft cruises at M = 0.65 at 10 km altitude on a standard day. The aircraft speed is deduced from measurement of the difference between the stagnation and static pressures. What is the value of this difference? Compute the air speed from this actual difference assuming (a) compressibility and (b) incompressibility. Is the discrepancy in air-speed computations significant in this case?

The P-35 experiences a certain dynamic pressure at its cruising speed of 114.2 m/s at an altitude of 4 km. Now assume the P-35 is flying at sea level. At what velocity must it fly at sea level to experience the same dynamic pressure?
An airplane is flying at 350 mi/h at 4000 m standard altitude. As is typical, the air velocity relative to the upper
surface of the wing, near its maximum thickness, is 26 percent higher than the plane's velocity. Using
Bernoulli's equation, calculate the absolute pressure at this point on the wing. Neglect elevation changes and
compressibility. (The properties of air at 4000 m are p = 61633 Pa, p = 0.8191 kg/m³)
