  • You wouldn’t measure yaw by the pitot tubes. I suppose it’s theoretically possible, but it would be complicated and imprecise. Yaw is measured by a gyro (modern planes are a laser ring gyro rather than a spinny gyro). The pitot tubes would all feed into air data computers for various systems. Flight instrumentation would have at least three (redundancy and error checking) and the fourth could possibly be for weapons systems or something similar, not sure.












  • My dog will not drink from his bowl unless he sees me dump out yesterday’s water in the morning and fill it up with fridge water. My mom keeps a bowl for the dogs at her house, and the other day she filled it with tap water. One dog drank it, Snobface McGee did not. When my mom dumped it and refilled it with fridge water he drank it. He’s my buddy though so I will always make sure he has fresh fridge water.
