What is an airspeed?
An airspeed is the speed at which an aircraft is travelling relative to the air through which it is flying.
What is groundspeed of the aircraft?
Ground speed is the speed the aircraft has compared to the ground. This is usually different from air speed, which is the aircraft's speed compared to the surrounding air. Thus an aircraft with 400 kph air speed and 50 kph headwind has a ground speed of 350 kph. For fun: with light aircraft with very low stall speeds it's possible to fly backwards (compared to the ground) if they fly into a headwind that's stronger than their lowest stall speed. I.e. their ground speed is negative.
How an airplane floats in the air?
The lift generated by speed of the wing supports an aircraft in the air.
How do you mease speed for helicopters?
You measure forward air speed in the same way you do in any aircraft.
How do aircraft measure their speed?
Aircraft measure two kinds of speed, air speed and speed over ground. Air speed is measured by the flow of air one way or another. Speed over ground can nowadays easily be measured by GPS. Or the Old fashioned way of checking the time it takes to pass from one land mark to another.
How aircraft speed and altitude can alter air pressure and how it complies with bernoulii's principle?
Aircraft speed and altitude cannot alter air pressure and how it complies with Bernoulli's principle. Aircraft speed decreases the pressure on the wings of the aircraft but this does not alter air pressure.
What is the maximum speed of the air India flight?
It depends on which aircraft is being used.
How in fighter aircraft is instant pressure difference created for lift?
Flaps are used on aircraft to increase the wing area of the plane and therefore increase lift and reduce speed.
What is the air intake of a typical airplane?
The air intake on an aircraft will vary depending on the size, model and speed of the aircraft. Generally, the air intake will be high to propel hot exhaust gases formed from air drawn into the engine.
How do you read a aircraft speedometer?
The speedometer of an aircraft measures air speed - that is, is measures the speed of the air going past the aircraft. Airspeed is measure in KIAS - Knots-Indicated Airspeed. There is a method of converting KIAS to true airspeed and ground speed, but, on the subject of ground speed, this is usually done simply by using GPS and LORAN equipment on board, or readings from ground radar units.
An aircraft that flies faster than the speed of sound is said to be?
Supersonic air craft.
How do aircraft reduce air resistance?
You need to make it streamlined at the front so it cuts through the air therefore making it move faster.
