Project Auto Launch – Analysis – 21/07/10

After looking the data from our last flight we have produced a vector diagram to show the MKII’s speed over ground and bearing when it was is flight.

Tristan is writing a function for project EMMA to determine the wind direction and speed from this data. Also we should be able to determine the average air speed of the MKII which will help towards designing the MKIII prototype.

NOTE: Up is true north. The speeds are in knots multiplied by 4.5 to obtain pixels.
