Aircraft airspeed indicator Art. 7001

APPLICATION As is generally known, wing load and, in turn, the optimum flap positions for the various speed ranges of a variable-flap glider changes with take-off weight. Until now, selecting the right flap position has ivolved using special tables carried on board or observing a confusingly large number of marks on the airspeed indicator. The new adjustable ring for airspeed indicators makes these complicated methods things of the past. FEATURES As the illustrations shows, the ring has a double scale for air­craft weight “G” and wing load “G/F”. Four arrows can also be seen, showing the corresponding angles for the flap positions. The number of arrows depends on the number of flap positions for the type of glider in question – are shown here. Like the MacCready ring of the variometer, the rotable ring is simply push-fitted over the airspeed indicator.
