Abstract
Airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air. Among the common conventions for qualifying airspeed are : indicated airspeed ("IAS"), calibrated airspeed ("CAS"), true airspeed ( " TAS " ) , equivalent airspeed ( " EAS " ) and density airspeed . The measurement and indication of airspeed is ordinarily accomplished on board an aircraft by an airspeed indicator ("ASI") connected to a pitot-static system. The pitot static system comprises one or more pitot probes (or tubes) facing the on-coming air flow to measure pitot pressure (also called stagnation, total or ram pressure) and one or more static ports to measure the static pressure in the air flow . These two pressures are compared by the ASI to give an IAS reading.
