← ScienceWhich consequence results when incompressible flow assumptions fail within the Bernoulli equation during aircraft icing?
A)Reduced pilot spatial awareness
B)Elevated airspeed measurement error✓
C)Compromised structural material strength
D)Increased fuel mixture combustion instability
💡 Explanation
Icing changes airflow density; the Bernoulli equation relies on constant density. Pitot tubes measure dynamic pressure using this equation; ice disrupts this measurement. Therefore, airspeed errors increase, rather than combustion instability, because flow density approximation deteriorates.
