Airspeed refers to the speed of an aircraft in relation to the air; it is nearly always different from groundspeed, the speed of the aircraft in relation to the ground. The difference between airspeed and groundspeed is a function of the velocity and direction of the wind. Airspeed is important because it determines the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft.
