Airspeed is a measurement of the plane's speed relative to the air around it. The pitot(pronounced pee-toe) static tube system is an ingenious device used by airplanes and boats for measuring forward speed. The device is really a differential pressure gauge and was invented by Henri Pitot in 1732.

In aviation speed is most often expressed in knots (kt). One knot is one nautical mile per hour. In an aircraft the speed is "measured" with a pitot tube. Together with the static pressure one can determine not the speed of the aircraft, but the speed of the air flowing around the aircraft, the airspeed.
