Question
A fuel tank in wing has dimensions in Fig. 1, where the width is equal to the height and the tank is half full.
The aircraft undergoes lateral acceleration due to non-zero sideslip, but level flight with level wings. The
aircraft is flying at an altitude of 20000ft in ISA+0. The velocity of the aircraft is V=160m/s, with a radius of
5000m. The tanks vents to a port that is 250Pa above the freestream static pressure. The fuel has a specific
gravity of 0.825.
Use g=9.80665m/s².
Calculate the absolute pressure at point A.
