  3. Indicated airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicated_airspeed

    A basic airspeed indicator with the indicated airspeed (IAS) indicated in knots ("Kt" or "Kts" or "KIAS") -- the most common unit of measure for airspeed. Some airspeed indicators in aircraft prior to the mid-1970s indicate in miles per hour plus knots (1 knot = 1.15 mph) or kilometers per hour (1 knot = 1.85 km/h).

  4. Airspeed indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed_indicator

    An airspeed indicator for an aeroplane. Indicated airspeed is displayed on the black background (in this case both in knots (kn) and miles per hour (mph)). The pilot sets the pressure altitude and air temperature in the top window using the knob. Based on that, the white background scale in the lower left window moves to give true airspeed.

  5. KTS - Wikipedia

    Knot (unit), a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour; Kotlin (programming language), uses the .kts file extension for Kotlin script files; Brevig Mission Airport (IATA: KTS) Potassium thiosulfate, a chemical compound commonly abbreviated as KTS.

  6. Minimum detectable signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_detectable_signal

    A minimum detectable signal is a signal at the input of a system whose power allows it to be detected over the background electronic noise of the detector system. It can alternately be defined as a signal that produces a signal-to-noise ratio of a given value m at the output.

  8. Airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airspeed

    Airspeed is commonly given in knots (kn). Since 2010, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommends using kilometers per hour (km/h) for airspeed (and meters per second for wind speed on runways), but allows using the de facto standard of knots, and has no set date on when to stop.

  9. Sensitivity (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_(electronics)

    The sensitivity of a microphone is usually expressed as the sound field strength in decibels (dB) relative to 1 V/Pa (Pa = N/m 2) or as the transfer factor in millivolts per pascal (mV/Pa) into an open circuit or into a 1 kiloohm load. [citation needed] The sensitivity of a hydrophone is usually expressed as dB relative to 1 V/μPa. [7]
