Which types of energies are present in the streamline flow of an ideal fluid?

$A$ fully loaded Boeing aircraft has a mass of $5.4 \times 10^5 \, kg$. Its total wing area is $500 \, m^2$. It is in level flight with a speed of $1080 \, km/h$. If the density of air $\rho$ is $1.2 \, kg/m^3$,the fractional increase in the speed of the air on the upper surface of the wing relative to the lower surface in percentage will be $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

The Pitot tube shown in the figure is used to measure fluid flow velocity in a pipe of cross-sectional area $S$. It was invented by a French engineer Henri Pitot in the early $18^{th}$ century. The volume of the gas flowing across the section of the pipe per unit time is (The difference in the liquid columns is $\Delta h$,$\rho_0$ and $\rho$ are the densities of liquid and the gas respectively):

$A$ horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section allows water to flow through it with a velocity $1 \ m/s$ when the pressure is $50 \ kPa$ at a point. If the velocity of flow has to be $2 \ m/s$ at some other point, the pressure at that point should be: (in $kPa$)
