True Air speed is a value corrected for possible speedometer errors caused by altitude condensation ( different temperatures and hence, resistances at differing heights) humidity, and so on, as distinct from Indicated Air speed on the dial of the Speedometer, usually called by pilots an air-speed indicator these work on a pitot tube and measure the shock wave surrounding the craft, and directly proportional to forward motion. automobile speedometers use wheels and gears as these are ground vehicles and have a lead-in speedometer cable. Planes have to measure the shock wave as there isn"t any ground contact! Hence Air Speed.

What is cramp jet?
A Scram jet is a jet which needs supersonic propulsion to take off. It is taken into air by another larger aircraft and is released in supersonic speed.
For an aircraft propeller with two blades 1 meter diameter what would the motor power in hp be needed to drive it at the speed of 65 knots?
I'm more familiar with boat propellers but I don't think this can be answered as it stands. You would need to know various factors, such as aircraft resistance, which would be influenced by factors such as aircraft shape and attitude (and hence drag), air temperature, and air pressure. Colder air and lower air pressure would lower air viscosity, which would in turn lower aircraft drag. But the propeller requires a certain air viscosity to function at its greatest efficiency, so you'd need to take that into account. You would also need to know the propeller pitch - the forward movement the propeller travels during a revolution

What cockpit control does a pilot use to control altitude?
Aircraft have two controls that are used together to control altitude.The elevator is used to increase the nose up pitch of the aircraft and it starts to climbThe throttle must then be increased so the air craft will continue at the speed needed to climbThe throttle can be used only in some aircraft but it is not a real stable usable thing, the elevator must be used to stabilise the aircraftTo descend oer maintain altitude the same controls are used together.
What is the difference between true airspeed and groundspeed?
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.
What is the purpose of the speed sensor on a Mitsubishi Lancer?
to calculate the true speed of the car taking wind speed and direction into account, like a light aircraft (TAS - true air speed)
How can an aircraft reduce the speed in the air?
during flight aircraft reduce speed by spoiler
What is an engine called where the fuel is burned in a duct using cmpressed air by the forward speed of an aircraft?
ramjet
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.
What is an airspeed?
An airspeed is the speed at which an aircraft is travelling relative to the air through which it is flying.
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.
What is the landing speed of fighter jet on an aircraft carrier?
"The landing system on an aircraft carrier can stop a 54,000 pound airplane traveling at 150 mph in two seconds." Also, the aircraft carrier is often moving away from the landing aircraft (allowing a greater true air speed for the landing airplane.) Suppose the aircraft carrier is going 15 mph, then the 54,000 pound aircraft can land at a true airspeed of 165 mph.
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 is the speed of an aircraft measured?
The speed of an aircraft is measured using an airspeed indicator, which measures the speed at which the aircraft is moving through the air. Groundspeed, on the other hand, is the speed at which the aircraft is moving over the ground and is measured using GPS technology.
Does true airspeed increase with altitude?
True airspeed typically increases with altitude because air density decreases as you climb higher. Since true airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air mass in which it is flying, it will generally increase as the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes.
How an airplane floats in the air?
The lift generated by speed of the wing supports an aircraft in the air.
