- The general name for instruments designed to measure either total wind speed or the speed of one or more linear components of the wind vector. These instruments may be classified according to the transducer employed; those commonly used in meteorology include the cup, propeller, Pitot-tube, hot-wire or hot-film, and sonic anemometers.

- Contexto
- The position of the pitot tube and the attitude of an aircraft can affect the accuracy of the airspeed indicator.
- Whenever the airspeed is changed any appreciable amount, the torque meter is momentarily the primary instrument for power control. When the airspeed approaches that desired, the airspeed indicator again becomes the primary instrument for power control.
