The Pitot tube on a supersonic aircraft (see the Video) cruising at an altitude of 40000ft senses a stagnation pressure of 7.48 psia. If the atmosphere is considered standard, determine (a) the Mach number of the aircraft, (b) the airspeed. A shock wave is present just upstream of the probe impact hole. (a) Ma= (b) V=ft/s
