Definition of pitot tube in English: pitot tube(also pitot) nounˈpiːtəʊpēˈtō 1An open-ended right-angled tube pointing in opposition to the flow of a fluid and used to measure pressure. (用于测定流体压力的)皮托管,全压管 - 1.1 A device consisting of a pitot tube inside or adjacent to a parallel tube closed at the end but with holes along its length, the pressure difference between them being a measure of the relative velocity of the fluid, or the airspeed of an aircraft.
(用于测定流体速度或飞机速度的)全静压管 Example sentencesExamples - He saw a hole or gash in the nose, near the pitot tubes and AOA probes.
- As he climbed back into his seat, the copilot's airspeed indicator began to rapidly decrease (its pitot tube had frozen).
- Ken, a former flight instructor in B - 24s, who had volunteered for combat duty, made doubly certain the pitot covers had been removed from the pitot heads.
- We later discovered that the right hand pitot tube was wiped right off the airplane.
- The recovered wings all show twin pneumatic lines as well as electric lines for the heater element going out to the pitot tube.
OriginLate 19th century: named after Henri Pitot (1695–1771), French physicist.
