What Does GS Stand For?
GS stands for Ground Speed
Ground Speed (GS) refers to the speed at which an aircraft or vehicle moves relative to the ground. It is a crucial parameter in aviation and transportation, as it influences flight time, fuel consumption, and navigation. GS is affected by various factors, including wind conditions and the angle of the vehicle’s trajectory. Understanding and monitoring ground speed is essential for optimizing performance and ensuring safety during operations.
