calibrated air speed
11Air data computer — An air data computer is an essential avionics component found in modern glass cockpits. This computer, rather than individual instruments, can determine the calibrated airspeed, Mach number, altitude, and altitude trend data from an aircraft s… …
12Speed limit — For a discussion of the maximum speed possible in the universe, see speed of light and special relativity. A road speed limit is the maximum speed allowed by law for road vehicles. Speed limits are commonly set and enforced by the legislative… …
13Air traffic control radar beacon system — The air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS) is a system used in air traffic control (ATC) to enhance radar monitoring and separation of air traffic. ATCRBS assists ATC radars by acquiring information about the aircraft being monitored,… …
14Air permeability specific surface — The air permeability specific surface of a powder material is a single parameter measurement of the fineness of the powder. The specific surface is derived from the resistance to flow of air (or some other gas) through a porous bed of the powder …
15Knot (speed) — The knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. Its kn abbreviation is preferred by American and Canadian maritime authorities, [ [http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/mcd/chart1/chart1hr.htm Positions, Distances, Directions, Compass;… …
16Maneuvering speed — In aviation, maneuvering speed is the maximum speed where full, abrupt control movement in the pitch axis will result in an aerodynamic stall of the aircraft prior to exceeding the design load limit. It has been widely misunderstood that flight… …
17Variable air volume — (VAV) is a technique for controlling the capacity of a heating, ventilating, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. The simplest VAV system incorporates one supply duct that, when in cooling mode, distributes approximately convert|55|F supply air …
182010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash — Polish Air Force Tu 154 crash Part of the fuselage near Smolensk Accident summary Date 10 April …
19Roadway air dispersion modeling — is the study of air pollutant transport from a roadway or other linear emitter. Computer models are required to conduct this analysis, because of the complex variables involved, including vehicle emissions, vehicle speed, meteorology, and terrain …
20History of the Armée de l'Air (1909–1942) — The Armée de l Air (literally, army of the air ) is the name of the French Air Force in its native language. It has borne this name only from August 1933 when it was still under the jurisdiction of the army. Today, several other countries, all of …
