digital air-speed meter can be used in car?

Yes, I have a very poor English.

Due to previous message, there was a person told me that there are some
car fan refit their cars using digital airpseed indicator (numeric
showing indication) in America. I told some Chinese car refit fans.
First they don't believe it. Second they want to know how to do it.
Here is the previous message:
"There is an interesting exception to all of the above. Many home-built
aircraft have a very basic set of flight instruments, often using
altimeters and compasses intended for automobiles or small boats, along
with an inexpensive Italian air speed indicator. The exception is the
inclusion of a gyro horizon, usually vacuum-driven but sometimes
electrical. This reflects the occasional need to descend through a
cloud layer, during which the wings must be kept level."

Thank you so much.
But digital meters just used DC.? Pitot tube is used mechanical meter.

Your English is poor, and you question did not communicate what you were
trying to ask, very well, at all.

What type of digital airspeed meter are you trying to use? How do you mean
that a fan would be used to help this to happen?

Much more thought is needed, in asking your question. Be specific, and tell
us more of what you were told.

There are NO cars of which I am aware of having an airspeed indicator. What
good would that be for a car? If you were going with the direction of a 20
mph wind, you would think you were going 60, and you were really going 80.
The police would have you, then.

Some very light aircraft we have are called ultralights, and according to
our aviation authority, they are not really aircraft, at all, legally.

They would be the only kink of flying vehicle that would have and
inexpensive wind speed meter, if they have one, at all. They are not
required, at all.

Any registered aircraft will have to have a real airspeed indicator, with a
tube facing into the wind, showing the increase of pressure that would
convert to airspeed.

Go to www.FFA.gov and look around at our regulations, for further
information.

I hope I have been some help.

But why have an 'airspeed indicator' if it never moves?

Eh? Six Aerocars were built and one was still flying (and presumably still
road driven) as of 2004:

I think you are confusing Molt Taylors Aerocar (which flew and drove back
in, what, 50's, 60's? There are still a few around) with the Moller SkyScam
which, as you note, has never gone anywhere (I believe that he did fly one
in ground effect for a short period of time).

But, we have gone way off the original topic with appears to be - can you
use some kind of digital air speed meter in an automobile? The answer to
that would be, yes, but why would you want air speed for a vehicle traveling
on the ground?

Perhaps something got lost in the translation. The original post referred to
"fans" but I think that was fans as in "people who like" and not "things to
blow air"...

Yep, I got those two jumbled up. Oooops.

One day, a few years ago, I decided to try out all my "ebay good deal"
instruments. Here are the pictures:

http://www.spiretech.com/~guynoir/ni...ments%2006.JPG

The first one shows the true airspeed indicator sensor that came with my
ultralight Nieuport. In the second picture, the first gauge on the left
is a multi-function display showing airspeed, rpm, cht and egt.
Airspeed comes from the windmill in picture 1, which generates about 1
volt per mph. The unit was made by Westach. Though it's not digital,
it does have a "fan" and it is on a car.

Yes, I means fan is people who like.

can we count that Gremlin(??) "convertible" used in an old James Bond
movie?
