Airspeed in a sentence

The cockpit voice recording contains no exchange between the pilots recognizing the airspeed as an issue.

The National Transportation Safety Board said the crew failed in managing the aircraft's vertical path, nose direction and airspeed.

They make it a few miles, barely gaining any altitude, when they finally lose enough airspeed that the little plane stalls and crashes into the side of a hill.

Olson has to maintain some kind of airspeed, so he can only get so low.

The pilots experienced an increase in airspeed and responded by applying speed brakes.

Airspeed would have hoarded and given back only at the last moment.

Had I trusted my airspeed sensor, I would have pushed the plane's nose down in an attempt to regain speed, and possibly put too much strain on the aircraft's frame, or gotten dangerously close to the ground.

It added: “Very soon after starting the left turn it appears that the aircraft was affected by a significant downdraft and probably a significant delay in airspeed due to windshear.

Lion Air’s first two attempts to address the airspeed indicator problem didn’t work, and for the Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane’s second-to-last flight on Oct. 28, the angle of attack sensors were replaced, Tjahjono said.

Malfunctioning airspeed indicators have factored in several high-profile crashes, including two more than 20 years ago involving Boeing 757s.

The airline didn’t respond to requests to verify a document purporting to be a Lion Air maintenance report, dated Sunday, that described inaccurate airspeed and altitude readings after takeoff.

The Emergency Procedure was to reduce airspeed to 60 knots.

Airspeed's most productive period was during the Second World War.

As a result, the flight control computers calculated an inaccurate airspeed, and a negative angle of attack, causing the aircraft to pitch upward 30 degrees during takeoff.

Because ramjets cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed, they cannot move an aircraft from a standstill.

Furthermore, the pitot tube used to measure airspeed in aircraft can give falsely elevated readings as the pressure builds up inside the tube at high speeds.

German test pilot Heini Dittmar in early July 1944 reached convert, an unofficial flight airspeed record unmatched by turbojet-powered aircraft for almost a decade.

However, during one-half of each blade's rotation, it sees a higher airspeed, because the rotation tip-speed and the forward speed add, and when it is in the other half of the rotation, the tip speed subtracts from the forward speed.

If the contribution of fuel to the nozzle gross thrust is ignored, the net thrust is: : The velocity of the jet (v e ) must exceed the true airspeed of the aircraft (v) if there is to be a net forward thrust on the aircraft.

It is open to argument how stable the Tu-144S was at the listed airspeed.
