Absolutely beautiful collection of machinery, though just a single brief thought about the tolerance stackup in that thing will inevitably give me nightmares for weeks.
Any idea what that stackup looks like, and how the resultant error in calculations/readings was communicated to the pilot?
- kens 4y agoThe official spec had lots of maximum allowed tolerances and how to test for them. E.g. the true airspeed had to be +/- 4 knots from 150 to 300 knots and +/- 1% and less than 7 knots above that. Mach number had to be +/- 1% but no greater than 0.02 or less than 0.006 of the real Mach number.
