Airspeed is the relative speed of an aircraft with respect to the air mass through which it moves. This parameter is fundamental for flight safety, performance analysis, structural limitations, and navigation. The concept of airspeed encompasses various subtypes that account for correlations between the value displayed on the instrument and the actual speed relative to the air mass. Pitot-Static System and Fundamental Measurement Principles The airspeed indicator (ASI) operates via the pitot-sta
