Yes they would measure the airspeed but I think it goes without saying that there are probably good reasons pitot tubes are used instead. | |

I think I need to clarify too - I want to know if an instrument can be created that can measure airspeed without pitot tubes, and not whether existing instruments in the flight-deck can. But thanks anyway! : ) | |

| Oct 27, 2017 at 2:48 | comment | added | kevin | In the accidents I referenced, the pilots did not have pitot tube; and given all other instruments they had in the cockpit, they could not deduce the airspeed and crashed. And the reasons why one cannot calculate airspeed with the remaining instruments it the same. | |
| Oct 27, 2017 at 2:41 | comment | added | user18035 | @kevin: Does your answer cover the possibility of measuring airspeed other than a hand-held GPS? While your answer is correct, it is quite different from what I asked, as your answer was about discerning the airspeed of an airliner from the inside (with a hand-held GPS). I'm looking into other ways an avionics system could be designed, without a pitot tube - so this assumes that I have all access to the instruments. But I don't even have any instrument to measure the airspeed without a pitot tube. : ) | |
