Position of static vent
With regard to the static vent on aircraft, this is designed for reading static pressure only. When the aircraft is in flight the airflow is moving past the vent at high speed. Does this movement of the airflow (dynamic pressure in effect) cause air to be 'sucked out' of the static vent hence resulting in lower pressure and erroneous readings of airspeed?
Thanks in advance.
