Which are the factors that mach number does not depend on?(a) Static pressure(b) Stagnation pressure(c) Static temperature(d) Thrust produced by the aircraftThe question was asked in an online interview.This interesting question is from Air Data Equations topic in portion Air Data Systems, Altitude and Heading Reference of Avionics

Answer»

The correct answer is (d) Thrust produced by the aircraft

Easy EXPLANATION: The mach number is computed from the corrected VALUES of static and stagnation pressures. Mach number is COMPARATIVELY easier to calculate than AIRSPEED in supersonic speeds due to the compression shocks that form in the pitot tube.
