It is called Pitot Tube. It measures fluid flow velocity. The results are displayed on the Airspeed Indicator.The pitot tubes detect the speed of the plane.
The Rayleigh correction formula is required for pitot-static tubes in supersonic flows because at high speeds and low pressures, the compressibility effects become significant. The formula accounts for these compressibility effects in the measurement of flow parameters such as pressure and velocity, ensuring more accurate readings in supersonic flow conditions. Without the correction, the readings obtained from the pitot-static tube may be inaccurate due to the influence of compressibility.
James Pitot was born in 1761.
James Pitot died in 1831.
According to this news article from Bloomberg.com, Lufthansa uses the US-manufactured Goodrich model of the pitot tubes on their A330's that are not the same model and have not experienced the same issues as the Thales SA model on the Air France plane. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=amGz_qaPjzok
