INTI?ODUCTION
In s.nalyses of aerodynamic data very often windtunnel or fligb.t measurements must bs converted into airspeed and related quar.ttties that are used in engineering
calculatt ons, Attsmpts to accomplish such confers!.on by
use of available m.etkods have been corc~licated by the
diversity of s~mbols and definitions and by the necessity
of referring to equations, charts, and tables from a
nwn”oer of different sources. A standard set of symbols
and definitions of v.micms atrsgaad terms that were
adopted by the KACA Subcommittee on Aircraft Structural
Design and a cow~ilation of th~ necessary equations, charts,

CALCULATIOiJ OF AIRSPEED AND PLELATED QUANTITIES
.
.
~ecause pit”ot-static arrangements are used as the
basis for the determlnati.on of atrspeed, aeronautical
engineering practice has develop6d to include the use of
a number of’airspeed terms and quantities, each of which
has a particular field of usefulness.
True airspeed is
:Irincipally of use to aerodynamicists, and indicated and
c&librated airspeeds are principally of use to pil.ota.
Equivalent airspeed is used by structural engineers,
since all load specifications have long b6en based on
this quantity.
Ik5finite r61ationshi~s exist between true airspGecl,
Mach number, Reynolds number, calibrated airspeed, and
Equivalent airspeed, and all these quantities may be

related either to the dynamic Qressure
q or to the

qc . Some of the relations presented
hsreln apply to the calculation of true airspeed and
Mach number from airspeed measurements obtained with an
airspeed indicator of standard calibration,
C?therrelations apply to the calculation of true airspeed when the
impact pressure is measured directly.

Determination
.

of True Airspeed
from Calibrated Airspeed
The formula that relates the true airspeed to the
calibrated airspead may be found “Qy equating the rigb.t- “
hand terms of equations (1) and (2) as follows:
6
NACA TN No. 1120
●
Because the exact numerical solution of equation (j) for
true airspeed is involved and requires a great deal of
time, a number of charts for the determination of the
from
the
cal~brated
airspeed for vartous
t~ue airspeed
(See referatmospheric conditions have been derived.
ences 1 to 3.) A typical chart (taken from reference 1)
Wiiatshows the relationship between Mach number, cali‘orated airspeed, pressure altitude, temperature, and
true airspeed is given in figure 1. ~iS chart iS Widely
used. because of’ its convenience. Airspeed may be obtained
froii~this chart with an accuracy within 2 miles per hour
wl~c:nstandard conditions hold and when values of airspeed”
and pressure altitude explicitly given by the chart are
ehcsen; the possible errors increaoe to within ~ miles
peimhour, however, when the temperature conditions are
not standard and when interpolation is required for both
altitude and airspeed.
.
. .:.
\
,’
.-
.
For some prposes, charts such as figure 1 are not
sufficiently accurate . A series of logarithmic tables
that may be used to determine the true airspeed in knots
from observed values of calibrated airspeed, pressure
altituile, and free-air temperature is given in reference 4.
LoCarithwdc tables of the type given in reference )A are of
limited usefulness since they cannot bb used conveniently
to evaluato the intermediate quantities (impact pressure
and ?.:ach
number) that are involved. in the computation of
true airspeed.
A series of tables (tables T to V) is given in the
prc.sent report to permit determination of impact pressure !lC in pournds per square foot, Uach number 1;, and
true airspeed V in mil(ss per hour or knots for okscrved
values of Vc in miles par hour or knots, press-are altitude h~ In f~et, and t~mperature in dcErees Fahrenheit
or Centlgratie. The accuracy of the tables is far greater
than that with which experimental data can normally be
obtained. ~~~th ordinar;~ care in interpolation, errors
should be less than 0.25 mile per hour throughout the
greater part of tlie airspeed and altitude ranEes.
!’able I, which gives values of impact pressure qc
in pounds per square foot for values of Vc in miles per
hour, was computed directly from equation (2]; standard
values were used for all the constants occurring in this
equation. Table II gives values of impact pressure qc
in pounds per square foot for values of Vc in knots.

Tables I and II give the impact pressures for Vc in
increments of 1 mile peP hour and 1 knot for speeds cor-responding to Mach numbers at sea level from O to 1.000.
.
Table III gives values of static pressure p in
pounds per square foot for various values of pressure
altitude hn from -1000 to 60,co0 feet in incremerits of
3.00feet an~ from 60,000 to 100,000 in increments of
