Static Tube Mast

Static Tube Mast is a component of the Flight Instruments supply class in the Instruments And Laboratory Equipment supply group. It is used in aviation to measure static pressure, which is the atmospheric pressure exerted on an aircraft when it is not in motion. The static tube mast is typically mounted on the exterior of the aircraft and consists of a tube that is open at one end and connected to a pressure sensor at the other end. The open end of the tube faces into the airflow, allowing it to measure the static pressure accurately. This information is then used by the flight instruments to provide important data for the pilot, such as altitude and airspeed.
