Okay, I get that. So, bernoulli isn't applicable because the static pressure port is out of the streamline. Is that right? Anyway, thanks for the answers so far!

Okay I understand. And if I had no A/C to "hide" my static pressure port behind in a moving fluid, is there a chance to measure the pressure altitude? Somehow this always brings me to the total pressure because if I bring the fluid to rest, I know that static pressure recovers to total...

Hi! I'm breaking my head about the following problem: Consider an A/C at a certain velocity flying at a certain altitude. The A/C measures it's speed via the difference in total- and static-pressure and applying bernoulli. Now the aircraft accelerates. What happens? At this point I get...
