rate-of-climb indicator [′rāt əv ′klīm ′in·də‚kād·ər]

(aerospace engineering)

A device used to indicate changes in the vertical position of an aircraft by comparing the actual outside air pressure to a reference volume that lags the outside pressure because a calibrated restrictor imposes a lag-time constant to the reference pressure volume. Also known as rate-of-descent indicator; vertical speed indicator.
