Ground reference speed is the speed of an aircraft with reference to the ground. Ground reference can also be used in watercraft by using the seabed. Watercraft can also use water reference speed, which is water flowing past the hull. The difference is that one uses the ground and the other uses the water to reference speed.

What is the frame of reference for a plane moving at 500 km h?

The frame of reference for a plane moving at 500 km/h could be relative to the ground or the air. The ground frame of reference would consider the plane's speed relative to the Earth's surface. The air frame of reference would consider the plane's speed relative to the surrounding air.


What is the difference between speed over ground and speed over water?

Air speed is the speed through the air (surprise!) and the air is often moving, you can have a strong tailwind or headwind so that will affect your speed over the ground (groundspeed). The speed through the air might be 500mph, and the groundspeed either 550mph or 450mph, if the wind is at 50mph.

What is the difference in engine pto and ground pto?

An engine PTO runs off the engine thus the speed is governed by the speed of the engine. A ground PTO is ran from the rotation of the tires. Therefore the speed is governed by the speed of the rotation of the tires.


What is relative speed?

Relative speed is the speed between two moving objects with no regards to a fixed reference. Speed is how fast something is moving with respect to an object.
