Title: Re: Airspeed indicators

Well, that is what all the newer planes display. The readout in the ADI is INS or IRS derived, but the airplane wings only care about airspeed, so in the newer planes the pitot input is run through the computer so unlike the little Cessna or Cub the airspeed displayed is pretty accurate. It is corrected for temperature, compressability and altitude. Even in the old 707 the KFIS system made corrections and would display true airspeed although not as well as the more modern planes.
