  • Is airspeed relative to wind speed at ground level? Or relative to wind speed the craft is experiencing?

    I imagined it would be relative to wind speed at the craft, as measured by some instrument. Which would make the comic at least true in a general sense, as it does state the altitude is constant?

    Edit: yep, air speed is relative to the air the vessel is moving through
