Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'pitot tubes'

Pitot tubes are pressure measurement instruments used to determine fluid flow velocity, particularly in aircraft for airspeed measurement. Named after French engineer Henri Pitot who invented them in the 18th century, these simple but critical devices became essential to aviation safety and performance. In alternate history scenarios, different developments in pitot tube technology could significantly impact aviation history, affecting everything from early flight experiments to modern aerospace capabilities.
