on lots of these different planes, these pictures of people boarding a boeing 737 and here's a mcdonnell douglas md-83. lots of these different planes, one of the things that might attract your attention as a layman as you're getting on to a plane are these acute shaped oddly looking sort of fragile looking small probe things that stick out of the fuselage. you've seen these? they look kind of fragile, right? this is what they look like on a commercial plane. this is what they look like on a military aircraft. they're called ptow tubes. the basic technology of a pitot tube measures velocity, an instrument that measures speed. planes can't measure how fast they're going by rolling distance, it's important for pilots to be able to know how fast a plane is going. part of the speed sensing system on modern aircraft are these little tubes that stick out of the fuselage. and a malfunction in that speed sensing system is how we lost an air france flight in 2009, a crash of a big plane that killed 228 people. >> a commercial jet has disappeared. search teams are scouring thousands of miles of op
