0 An aircraft's ground speed is its speed when measured against the ground rather than the air through which it moves. --
It is forbidden to operate without the caps, because they are linked to the ground speed sensor that interfaces with the anti-skid brake system.
This is destroying its utility as a popular race bed and surface for setting ground speed records, where long, uniform flat surfaces are required.
It spends days and nights on the wing, with an average ground speed of 10 kph, covering up to 223 km before landing.
Data was sampled at one-second intervals, which, at ground speed of approximately 240 kilometers per hour, equates to 15 data points for every kilometer covered.
Information displayed to passengers through the entertainment system often gives the aircraft ground speed rather than airspeed.
If the wind shear is of sufficient magnitude, a bird can climb into the wind gradient, trading ground speed for height, while maintaining airspeed.
If the wind gradient is of sufficient magnitude, a bird can climb into the wind gradient, trading ground speed for height, while maintaining airspeed.
In addition, grain damage can actually increase as the forward speed, or ground speed, of the machine is decreased.
