No, he just answered what the static air pressure would be. Like, at sea
level it's 14.8 PSI, at 20,000 feet it's 6.7psi.
Hiroo is (I think) asking about the "Q" - the pitot pressure at different
airspeeds.
Q is .5 times the density of the air times velocity squared.
I'm sure there must be a java calculator somewhere on the web, but I can't
find one.
