◆ calc_EAS_from_IAS()

float calc_EAS_from_IAS	(	float	speed_indicated,
		float	scale
	)

Calculate equivalent airspeed (EAS) from indicated airspeed (IAS).

Note that we neglect the conversion from CAS (calibrated airspeed) to EAS.

Parameters

speed_indicated	current indicated airspeed
scale	scale from IAS to CAS (accounting for instrument and pitot position erros)

Returns: EAS in m/s

◆ calc_EAS_from_TAS()

float calc_EAS_from_TAS	(	float	speed_true,
		float	pressure_ambient,
		float	temperature_celsius
	)

Calculate equivalent airspeed (EAS) from true airspeed (TAS).

It is the inverse function to calc_TAS_from_EAS()

Parameters

speed_true	current true airspeed
pressure_ambient	pressure at the side of the tube/airplane
temperature_celsius	air temperature in degrees celcius

Returns: EAS in m/s

◆ calc_IAS()

float calc_IAS ( float differential_pressure )

Calculate indicated airspeed (IAS).

Note that the indicated airspeed is not the true airspeed because it lacks the air density and instrument error compensation.

Parameters

differential_pressure total_ pressure - static pressure

Returns: IAS in m/s

◆ calc_IAS_corrected()

float calc_IAS_corrected	(	enum AIRSPEED_COMPENSATION_MODEL	pmodel,
		enum AIRSPEED_SENSOR_MODEL	smodel,
		float	tube_len,
		float	tube_dia_mm,
		float	differential_pressure,
		float	pressure_ambient,
		float	temperature_celsius
	)

Calculate indicated airspeed.

Calculate indicated airspeed (IAS).

Note that the indicated airspeed is not the true airspeed because it lacks the air density compensation. Use the calc_true_airspeed functions to get the true airspeed.

Parameters

differential_pressure total_ pressure - static pressure

Returns: indicated airspeed in m/s

◆ calc_TAS()

float calc_TAS	(	float	total_pressure,
		float	static_pressure,
		float	temperature_celsius
	)

Directly calculate true airspeed (TAS)

Here we assume to have no instrument or pitot position error (IAS = CAS), and neglect the CAS to EAS conversion (CAS = EAS). Note that the true airspeed is NOT the groundspeed, because of the effects of wind.

Parameters

total_pressure	pressure inside the pitot/prandtl tube
static_pressure	pressure at the side of the tube/airplane
temperature_celsius	air temperature in degrees celcius

Returns: true airspeed in m/s

◆ calc_TAS_from_EAS()

float calc_TAS_from_EAS	(	float	speed_equivalent,
		float	pressure_ambient,
		float	temperature_celsius
	)

Calculate true airspeed (TAS) from equivalent airspeed (EAS).

Note that the true airspeed is NOT the groundspeed, because of the effects of wind

Parameters

speed_equivalent	current equivalent airspeed
pressure_ambient	pressure at the side of the tube/airplane
temperature_celsius	air temperature in degrees celcius
