1.	Where are self-aligning pitot tubes used?(a) Bomber planes(b) Commercial airliners(c) High angle of attack fighter aircraft(d) General aviationI got this question during an online exam.This is a very interesting question from Pressure Measurements topic in division Air Data Systems, Altitude and Heading Reference of Avionics
Answer» Right option is (c) High ANGLE of attack FIGHTER aircraft Explanation: When the angle of attack and the SIDESLIP angle are under 10°, they do not affect the pressure measurements much. In APPLICATIONS such as high angle of attack fighters, special self-aligning PITOT tubes are used to measure the stagnation pressure.
