Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of atmospheric data acquisition, and in particular, relates to a method and system for acquiring indicated airspeed. Background Art

[0002] Indicated airspeed is the speed value expressed according to the dynamic pressure measured by the aircraft's atmospheric data system and the relationship between flight speed and dynamic pressure under standard atmospheric conditions at sea level.
