How is speed measured in airplanes?

The speed is messured in knotsAirspeed in measured in Knots. It is generally measured by a small intake on the aircraft that measures the speed that air enters at. This measurement is know as indicated airspeed. The thing to remember is that indicated airspeed differs from ground speed as it takes into account wind speed. For example, an aircraft is flying at 110knots ground speed into a 10knot wind so it's indicated airspeed would be 120knots (110+10)
