Abstract: An air speed indicator (10) for use in combination with a vehicle (20) having an exterior surface (18). The indicator (10) comprises a shaft (12) mounted to the vehicle (20) by a means of a mounting member (16) such that the shaft (12) is angled away from the direction of relative airflow (50). A propeller (14) is mounted on the shaft (12) through a tapered opening (32) that enables the propeller (14) to precess on the shaft (12) and thereby change the axis of rotation with consequent changes in the direction of movement of the propeller (14) on the shaft (12). Decorative and ornamental features include the retaining member (26) at the top end of the shaft (12) and beads (52) mounted above and below the propeller (14).
