    FYI dynamic_pressure = 0.5 * ref_density * equivalent_airspeed^2 Its not a function of indicated airspeed. Indicated airspeed needs to be corrected for the compressibility of air t…

    Just so you know the forces are actually proportional to the square of equivalent airspeed which is indicated airspeed adjusted for the compressibility of the air at the sensor. In…
