Airspeed indicator

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000147

A flight instrument that displays an aircraft's airspeed, typically measured in knots. It operates by sensing the difference between total pressure from a pitot tube and static pressure from a static port. This pressure differential is converted into a speed reading on the instrument's dial.
