Just a spring, inlet, and fuselage block can make a simple airspeed indicator for any build! Even cars! Simply adjusting the spring can fine-tune the speed range. This design gives smooth indication immediately when you need it with almost no part cost.

How does this work?

@Freerider2142 absolutely love it!
@BenSkyWalker Don't get me wrong, This is amazing :)
I love the simplicity of it, My creations tend to have very high G's...
Check out this speedometer on my bike I'm gonna upload it in a couple of days with a build tutorial
@asteroidbook345 I have, quite some time ago, been using it in most builds now, here is a link: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/HGjxQr/The-Airspeed-Indicator
[Edit:was wrong link previously]
@Freerider2142 this can be more stable with wings as sensing blocks, and zero mass on the parts, but this is just a basic demonstration of the concept, I've fine-tuned the concept in some other builds to be more practical in use, having around 35 parts or so and giving very reliable readings.
Pretty good speedometer.. I wish it was more accurate and a bit more stable when pitching up/down...
But a cool concept anyway :)
I just answered my own question. This is fantastic! I didn’t know this was possible in SP
Wait does this work by increasing the throttle or actually by the speed the aircraft is going
