It is called Pitot Tube. It measures fluid flow velocity. The results are displayed on the Airspeed Indicator.


The pitot tubes detect the speed of the plane.

What is the name of the instrument which is used to detect the radiation of heat?

A device called a thermographic camera or infrared camera is used to detect heat radiation. This camera captures the infrared radiation emitted by objects and converts it into a visual image that shows variations in temperature.

Name the instrument used for measuring the speed of an aeroplane?

The speed of an airplane is measured by a system known as the pitot-static system which compares the difference between the static air pressure that exists around the aircraft and the dynamic, or ram air pressure which is a function of the speed the aircraft is moving through the air. The devices used to gather this information are the static air port (which measures static air pressure) and the pitot tube (which measures ram air pressure). This differential is displayed on an instrument in the cockpit called an airspeed indicator (or ASI).
