An aircraft is flying at an altitude of 4500 m above sea level, where the ambient
pressure, temperature and density are 57 kPa, 259 K and 0.777 kg/m3,
respectively. The speed of the aircraft (V) is 230 m/s. Gas constant R= 287 J/kg/K,
and specific heat ratio 𝛾 = 1.4. If the stagnation pressure is po, and static pressure
is p, the value of [
po-p
