3D Flight Path Vector Analysis
Consider a model airplane whose flight path in three dimensions is described by vector definitions. The displacement vector \(\vec{d}\) represents the overall movement and is composed of horizontal and vertical components.
Part b
Using vector definitions, derive the advanced parametric equations for the airplane’s flight path in three dimensions. Include an extra factor for wind influence represented by a horizontal vector \(\vec{w} = (w_1, w_2, 0)\) while the propulsion vector is \(\vec{p} = (p_1, p_2, p_3)\). Assume the initial position is \(\vec{r}(0)=\vec{0}\) and that the wind affects only […]
