Abstract
A system may include a static air temperature probe attached to an aircraft, an electronic flight instrument system, and a processor. The processor may be configured to measure a static air temperature at the aircraft using the static air temperature probe. The processor may further be configured to calculate a Mach number associated with the aircraft based at least partially on the static air temperature. The processor may also be configured to calculate a true air speed of the aircraft based on the Mach number. The processor may display an indication of the true air speed using the electronic flight instrument system. The processor may also be configured to calculate the speed of sound based at least partially on the static air temperature.
