← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid airflow disrupts differential pressure within an aircraft's pitot-static system?
A)Inaccurate airspeed indication occurs✓
B)Engine temperature increases rapidly
C)Fuel consumption rate decreases
D)Aircraft's stall speed is reduced
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate airspeed occurs due to turbulent flow affecting the pressure measurements used in Bernoulli's equation; because the system relies on consistent laminar airflow translating pressure into speed; therefore turbulent pressure fluctuations misreport airspeed rather than engine or stall-related errors.
