  "term": "Airspeed",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The velocity of an aircraft relative to the mass of air through which it is flying. It is a primary flight instrument reading, distinct from groundspeed, which is the aircraft's speed over the Earth's surface. Airspeed is measured by a pitot-static system that compares static air pressure with the dynamic pressure of the air entering a forward-facing tube.",
