How does an air speed indicator work?

Aircraft speedometers are based on the shock wave principle. the shock wave is directly proportional to the plane"s speed and this is determined through a pitot rube and also a static tube, which normally protrude from the wings,. There is the usual dial and speed indications. The Air Speed indicator measures Air speed. It is NOT based on wheel rotation as are speedometers on most land vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, and locomotives. For this reason airmen nearly always refer to the device as an Air Speed indicator, Not as a speedometer. there you have it.

What is the Speed of a hot air balloon?

Horizontal speed would be expressed in Miles Per Hour, but vertical speed would be in Feet per minute , measured by a variometer ( or rate of climb indicator- measuring also descent and balanced at 0 at 270 degrees ( West) by analogy with a compass. 270 is the Null point, one then reads up or down. as these are essentially vertical aircraft= along with an altimeter, the variometer would be a basic instrument.
