Undergrad Help with physics of flight paths?
Yes, I am. I've been able express ground speed vectors, position vectors, etc, as functions of theta/course; I'm just not sure how to convert what I have into something that is a function of time. So for every position on the circle I know what the plane's course, heading, and ground speed will...- pr1ncesspeach

Undergrad Help with physics of flight paths?
Hi all, If anything here is incorrect or confusing or seems trivially simple, I apologize: I'm not a physicist and created an account specifically to get help on this from some people who are! My question is this: Assume a plane has a constant airspeed and you wish to fly a circular pattern...- pr1ncesspeach
