diagram for demo

Pitot tube inserted in wind stream with manometer indicator. The Pitot tube is used for the measurement of the flow speeds of fluids, (such as the flow speed of air past the fuselage of an airplane). it consists of a bent tube protruding into the airstream, and another opening flush to the airstream.
