Final answer:
A pitot probe cannot be used to estimate the leading-edge pressure on an airfoil/wing.
Step-by-step explanation:
No, a pitot probe cannot be used to estimate the leading-edge pressure on an airfoil/wing.
A pitot probe measures the total pressure, which comprises the sum of the static pressure (pressure exerted by the fluid) and the dynamic pressure (pressure due to fluid velocity). However, it does not provide information about the individual component pressures.
Estimating the leading-edge pressure requires a separate leading-edge pressure port or an alternative method such as pressure distribution measurements using pressure taps along the airfoil/wing surface.
