badin : Appareil utilisé pour mesurer la vitesse d'un avion par rapport à l'air ambiant. Le badin comporte un détecteur de pression dynamique, tube de Venturi ou sonde de Prandtl, relié à un manomètre différentiel placé sur le tableau de bord. C'est plus particulièrement ce cadran, directement gradué en vitesse, que les pilotes désignent du nom de badin. 6, record 1, French, - an%C3%A9mom%C3%A8tre

The overspeed warning system consists of a maximum airspeed sensor, warning lights, warning horn, and associated wiring. The sensor, located in the right console, senses maximum airspeed from the airplane pitot and static system and causes the overspeed warning lights on the instrument panels to light and the warning horn located in the left console to sound. When maximum airspeed is reached for a given altitude, the contacts are open and the relay within the sensor is deenergized allowing its contacts to complete the warning circuit. 2, record 4, English, - overspeed%20warning%20system
