4.22 The altimeter on a low-speed airplane reads 2 km. The airspeed indicator reads 50 m/s. If the outside
air temperature is 280 K, what is the true velocity of the airplane?

4.24 A high-speed subsonic Boeing 777 airliner is flying at a pressure altitude of 12 km. A Pitot tube on the
vertical tail measures a pressure of 2.96 × 104 N/m2. At what Mach number is the airplane flying?

4.25 A high-speed subsonic airplane is flying at Mach 0.65. A Pitot tube on the wing tip measures a pressure
of 2339 lb/ft2. What is the altitude reading on the altimeter?

4.27 An airplane is flying at a pressure altitude of 10 km with a velocity of 596 m/s. The outside air
temperature is 220 K. What is the pressure measured by a Pitot
tube mounted on the nose of the airplane?
