AIRSPEED INDICATOR
|
The AIRSPEED INDICATOR is similar to a speedometer in a car. It shows the speed (in knots) of the airplane traveling through air. Here in the figure the speed is 110 knots (nautical miles per hour). A nautical mile is a measure of distance and is about 15% longer than a mile measured on land. |
