Navigation
This package provides a number of navigation functions. The functions are based on the Aviation Formulary V1.46 of Ed Williams and the latlong scripts of Movable-type.
Implemented Functions:
- distance
- bearing
- final_bearing
- midpoint
- intermediate_point
- destination_point
- intersection_point
- along_track_distance
- cross_track_distance
- Vground
- head_wind
- cross_wind
- normalize
- closest_point_to_pole
- isinside
Implemented Types:
- Point(ϕ, λ)
- Airspace
Implemented constants:
- Rₑ_m Radius Earth in [m]
The calculations are done using the Point struct for specifying points as radians
All angles are in degrees, distances are in meters, and speeds are in m/s.
