YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDN ME RIGHT?
Airspeed is speed with respect to the air, i.e. speed through the air. Groundspeed is speed with respect to the ground, i.e. speed over the ground. It's the vector sum of airspeed and windspeed.
Indicated airspeed (IAS) is the speed of an aircraft as shown on its airspeed indicator, which measures the dynamic pressure created by the aircraft moving through the air. Ground speed is the actual speed at which the aircraft is moving over the ground and is affected by wind. The ground speed can be faster or slower than the indicated airspeed depending on the direction and strength of the wind.
some V speeds are not indicated, It doesn't show true airspeed or ground speed.
To find the speed of the winds, we can use the concept of vector components. The ground speed of the plane (95 mph) is the result of the vector sum of the airspeed of the plane (190 mph) and the speed of the winds (w mph). We can find the horizontal component of the airspeed by multiplying 190 mph by the cosine of the angle between the airspeed and the ground direction (240 - 90 = 150 degrees). Thus, the speed of the winds is 70 mph.
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.
That one can be tricky. Airspeed is speed WRT the air, but air can be moving. If it is, you have to compensate for the movement of the air to get an accurate conversion between airspeed and speed over ground. If you assume the air to be stationary, it's easy. One nautical mile is about 15% more than a mile. So 1 knot = 1.15 mph 1 mph = 0.85 knot.
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)
No. 'Airspeed' is the airplane's speed relative to the air. 'Headwind' and 'tailwind' ... in fact, 'wind' in any direction ... is the speed of the air relative to the ground, which the airplane doesn't feel. So 'wind' affects only the craft's groundspeed, not its airspeed.
An air speed indicator gives an indication of the speed of the air going across the wing surface. It's not a reflection of equivalent ground speed, as one's airspeed is subject to headwinds and such. However, before LORAN-C and GPS, it was the only real method of measuring any sort of speed. One could make an estimation of their ground speed based on airspeed.
An airspeed is the speed at which an aircraft is travelling relative to the air through which it is flying.
Equivalent airspeed is speed at sea level in which the incompressible dynamic pressure can be produces as if it were at true airspeed. Equivalent airspeed is used to predict aircraft handling.
