Feature Article: Pitot Tube Inventor
The pitot tube was invented by Francais Pitot, a French physicist
and dentist born in 1695. His tube was first used to measure
water flow. It measures the difference between ambient and dynamic
pressures. Only the very, very old or very, very new aircraft
do not use a pitot tube to determine airspeed. The pitot tube
measures only pressure. There is no air movement through the
pitot tube.
