@airmainengineer indeed it is critical and very surprising that engineers have not come up with anything better - it is also vulnerable and requires training to manage the errors - I always used to think a retractable pitot that could be deployed in and emergency would be developed.
The Pitot Tube — The Tiny Device That Keeps Your Plane Alive ✈️📏
This little metal tube on the nose of the aircraft?
Yeah… it’s one of the MOST IMPORTANT instruments in aviation. 🤯
🔥 What it does:
It measures the air pressure rushing in, which gives the plane its AIR SPEED.
No Pitot = No speed.
No speed = No flight.
Simple and terrifying.
⚠️ If a Pitot Tube gets blocked (ice, bugs, dirt)… the aircraft can get wrong speed readings, and that has caused real aviation accidents.
💡 That’s why pilots test it, mechanics inspect it, and heaters keep it warm in flight.
It’s small.
It’s simple.
But it’s absolutely critical.

@LewisBlum@6abc You don’t need any help looking like a predator, you’re the worst of the bunch…if I ever won the lottery I would make it my mission to crush you, your ignorant employees who sleep on the job and make it impossible to get your car out even when you are paying. #Fraud#FuckLewBlum
@6abc This owner of this 7-11 is an asshole, but he isn’t wrong for this. Let these people get towed by DH Lew Blum and see how much worse it is for them.
Man recorded a Genesis GV80 in LA that was gutted overnight by thieves, stripped down to nothing.
You simply can’t have nice things in Democrat-run cities.
@Am_Free_USA@ElectionWiz You sir a an idiot, if you believe in freedom and being left alone….then shut your mouth about other people’s choices regardi no their own freedoms….be careful before you choke on your hypocrisy. And before you say it…I am a libertarian that wants to be left alone.
A man was arrested by police in Britain after he posted a picture online of himself posing with a gun in the US
He was then held overnight in a cell and bailed…
“I was told to be careful what I say online and I need to understand how it makes people feel,” WHAT??
The police seized his computers and phone and so he had been unable to even work. Then they dropped the charges.
The process is the punishment 💣
@RealAirPower1@JiggySevilla The better joke is: “They might be the 4th but there is a big drop off after 2, when the 3rd largest is the Salvation Army.”
Want an example of air dominance? During the 1991 Gulf War, every time an Iraqi pilot lifted off, his fate was almost sealed. On one mission, a U.S. strike package was delayed for 11 minutes - not because of weather or technical difficulties, but because 40 F-4s, F-15s, and F-16s were busy chasing two Iraqi MiG-23s fleeing to Iran. The same applied to Iraqi SAMs: if a radar blinked awake, it was hunted instantly. And all of this happened over contested Iraqi airspace. That's air dominance.
@XfinitySupport your tech left trash and materials outside my house which led to damage to my truck door as he left a spool with a pipe by the curb. Someone needs to reach out to handle the damage to my truck door.
