Question
If you were going to design an airspeed system with no errors, what would it look like? How would you eliminate the errors?
Compare and contrast the methods of measuring aerodynamic forces in a wind tunnel to that of an airplane in flight.
Compare and contrast an aircraft having a high aspect ratio wing to an aircraft that has a low aspect wing. What are the operational requirements that drive these designs? All things being equal, which aircraft will--in principle--have longer endurance and why? Which aircraft will lose more energy in flight under elevated G and why?
Explanation / Answer
I would design airspeed system to display airspeed accurately and reliably by using gps. The many available satellites will be able to track an aircraft s airspeed with accuracy at any location o earth through any weather.
The system must incorporate position and parameters to air traffic control centers to prevent another MH370 disaster. This new solid state system have redundant receivers, transmitters, and also utilize a traditional air pressure system as a back-up. Using modern technology that incorporates GPS will give aviators precise airspeed indications world-wide.
In a wind tunnel an aircraft is not exposed to external forces that are not controlled by the operators. Forces can be measured multiple ways, such as using smoke or colored fluid to observe the motion of the fluid around a body. In a wind tunnel, as well as in actual flight, pitot tubes placed in certain locations on an aircraft can be used to determine various parameters at that location. testing in a wind tunnel will provide a more controlled experiment , the aircraft may react differently in flight with loads and other forces applied to it.
