Aircraft Static Pressure...
Static ports are located on the side of an aircraft and function as small air inlets. Their purpose is to measure static air pressure, also known as barometric pressure. The pressure within the static port is collected and then utilized by the altimeter and the vertical speed indicator (VSI). Different static ports are offered, both certified and non certified (the latter with an intended use in homebuilt/experimental aircraft).
Several offered non certified static ports are briefly described below. For certified static ports plese refer to their separate product presentations.
