REFLECTOR: AirSpeed

[steve korney]

This is interesting...

As I remember, there was a discussion a month or so about (Vne/flutter) and 
indicated vs. true airspeed... This is from the  Wikipedia,  free 
encyclopedia

Aircraft display an indicated airspeed on an instrument called an airspeed 
indicator. Indicated airspeed will differ from true airspeed at air 
densities other than some reference density. Air density is affected by 
temperature, moisture content, and altitude. Indicated airspeed is used in 
aircraft operation as the aircraft stalling speed and structural limiting 
speeds are dependent on indicated airspeed, irrespective of true airspeed.


Best... Steve
