	Airspeed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Equivalent airspeed (EAS) is calibrated airspeed corrected for error due to air compressibility which arises at high altitudes and mach numbers.
		The significance of equivalent airspeed is that at Mach numbers below the onset of wave drag, all of the aerodynamic forces and moments on an aircraft scale with the square of the equivalent airspeed.
		The equivalent airspeed is closely related to the Indicated airspeed speed shown by the airspeed indicator.

	Equivalent airspeed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Equivalent airspeed (EAS) is the airspeed which represents the same dynamic pressure at altitude that would be generated by flying at the corresponding true airspeed (TAS) at sea level.
		At sea level EAS is the same as calibrated airspeed (CAS).
		At high altitude, EAS may be obtained from CAS by correcting for compressibility error.

		Also, the term "slip" is often distinguished from "skid." Both terms describe the longitudinal axis' not being aligned with the direction of motion; slip describes a condition of the nose pointing outside a turn, whereas skid describes a condition of the nose pointing inside a turn.

		The airspeeds of these test points were increased until the onset of flutter was encountered at 460 knots of equivalent airspeed (KEAS) [Å237 m/s equivalent airspeed].
		As the test proceeds, the airspeed should be increased until the system nears the speed of instability predicted by the flutterometer.
		At this point, the envelope should be expanded to high-speed test points by relying heavily on the data-based methods to finalize an accurate prediction of the exact speed at which flutter will be encountered.

		Fuseable plugs are several channels arranged circumferentially around the wheel and filled with a solder-like material that is normally hard, but which turns to liquid at it's peak temperature and flows out of the channel allowing the nitrogen to exit the tire.
		Since there is no means for a pilot to determine his gradient of climb while in flight, it is important that he observe quite closely the prescribed techniques and airspeeds, particularly during the early stages of flight, to assure obstacle and terrain clearance in the event of engine failure.
