How to Use the TAS Calculator
This calculator computes Total Air Temperature (TAS) from Static Air Temperature (SAT) and Mach number using the formula: TAS = SAT × (1 + 0.2 × M²).
- Enter Static Air Temperature (SAT) in Kelvin (K). Must be a positive number (e.g., 288.15).
- Enter Mach Number (M) as a non-negative dimensionless value (e.g., 0.85).
- Click "Calculate TAS". The result appears below in Kelvin (K), along with the formula breakdown.
Note: All inputs must be in metric units (Kelvin for temperature). Invalid or empty fields will show an error.

Frequently Asked Questions
Total Air Temperature (TAS) is the temperature of the air including the heating effect caused by the aircraft's speed. It is higher than Static Air Temperature (SAT) due to adiabatic compression and friction.
TAS is calculated using the formula: TAS = SAT * (1 + 0.2 * M^2), where SAT is the static air temperature in Kelvin and M is the Mach number.
The calculator uses Kelvin for temperature. Mach number is dimensionless. The result is in Kelvin.
