Question

When an aircraft is grounded, the pitot static tube is generally covered.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in my homework.

I would like to ask this question from Pitot Tube in section Inviscid & Incompressible Flow of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

To explain I would say: In the grounded condition, the pitot static tubes are generally covered so as to prevent them from atmosphere effect. If the atmospheric air enters into it, it may show certain variations in the reading.
