    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed_indicator

    Airspeed indicator. The airspeed indicator (ASI) or airspeed gauge is a flight instrument indicating the airspeed of an aircraft in kilometres per hour (km/h), knots (kn or kt), miles per hour (MPH) and/or metres per second (m/s). The recommendation by ICAO is to use km/h, however knots (kt) is currently the most used unit.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot–static_system

    A pitot–static system is a system of pressure-sensitive instruments that is most often used in aviation to determine an aircraft's airspeed, Mach number, altitude, and altitude trend. A pitot–static system generally consists of a pitot tube, a static port, and the pitot–static instruments. [1] Other instruments that might be connected are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicated_airspeed

    Indicated airspeed (IAS) is the airspeed of an aircraft as measured by its pitot-static system [1] and displayed by the airspeed indicator (ASI). [2] This is the pilots' primary airspeed reference. This value is not corrected for installation error, instrument error, or the actual encountered air density, [2] being instead calibrated to always ...

    Cockpit controls and instrument panel of a Cessna 182D Skylane. Generally, the primary cockpit flight controls are arranged as follows: [2] A control yoke (also known as a control column), centre stick or side-stick (the latter two also colloquially known as a control or joystick), governs the aircraft's roll and pitch by moving the ailerons (or activating wing warping on some very early ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed

    An airspeed indicator is a flight instrument that displays airspeed. This airspeed indicator has standardized markings for a multiengine airplane. Aircraft have pitot tubes for measuring airspeed. In aviation, airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air it is flying through (which itself is usually moving relative to the ground due ...

    The Mk. XIVA computor, normally mounted on the left side of the forward fuselage. The wind speed and direction are set on the blue dials, the bomb's terminal velocity and the target altitude on the green dials. The Mark XIV Bomb Sight[a] was a bombsight developed by Royal Air Force (RAF) Bomber Command during the Second World War.
