MACH NUMBER and AIRSPEED vs ALTITUDE MACH NUMBER is defined as a speed ratio, referenced to the speed of sound, i.e. MACH NUMBER ' Velocity of Interest Velocity of Sound (at the given atmospheric conditions) [1] Since the temperature and density of air decreases with altitude, so does ...
If the mach number is >> 1, the flow speed is much higher than the speed of sound - and the speed is hypersonic.Example - Calculating an Aircraft Mach NumberAn aircraft flies at speed 500 mph at an altitude of 35000 ft. The surrounding temperature is -60 oF....
This measures barometric air pressure. It can predict weather changes, for example a sudden drop in air pressure could mean a storm is coming. When calibrated correctly it can be used to determine altitude, which helps GPS devices to lock on quicker and with greater accuracy. ...
The flight curve regulator uses supplied aircraft velocity data, altitude data and reference parameter data provided by a stored table, to allow the feed setting lever to be adjusted, to ensure the optimum flight curve with a max. rotation rate and aircraft velocity. Pref. the max. rotation ra...
