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.
