← ScienceWhich reading discrepancy arises when a pitot tube's yaw error increases?
A)Overestimated dynamic pressure measurement✓
B)Underestimated static pressure detection
C)Elevated total pressure measurement
D)Reduced stagnation pressure indication
💡 Explanation
Yaw error introduces flow separation affecting static pressure measurement through viscous forces; this deviation causes an overestimation of dynamic pressure derived via Bernoulli's principle because the indicated stagnation pressure is higher therefore affecting velocity calculation rather than reflecting true speed.
