how the speed of the aircraft measured Answer The standard way to measure aircraft speed is by finding the dynamic pressure from pitot-static probes near the nose of the aircraft. The difference between ram and static pressures is the dynamic pressure: rho*v^2/2 from Bernoulli's law. Solving for v gives indicated airspeed that must be corrected for several things to get true airspeed. Density (rho) changes...
