Aircraft navigation

Physics Asked by S.Prabhu on February 11, 2021

What is the significance of converting aircraft body axis velocity components into earth axis to relate the same with airspeed (Measured from Pitot tube)?

Thanks in advance…

One Answer

You can not calculate more than one dimension at a time. This is because velocity can only go in either a positive or negative direction. That is why the vectors in 2 dimensional kinematics must broken up. Then they are covered back using either Pythagorean theorem or trigonometry.
