Total Air Temperature question
Sorry guys, another misunderstanding on TAT.
TAT is defined as bringing an amount of air stationery as if it was next to the aircraft and not moving and measuring its temperature. (I think). But why is it different from outside air temperature?
You see if I put a thermometer and dangle it out of the car window it measures the temperature of the air it goes through. If I make the air go the same speed as the car, it is still the same temperature. Or if I stop the car and measure the temperature, it is still the same.
So what difference here?
Thanks for all your help...
