FlightSpeedComponents: Flight speed components

In Josephine-Tetteh/FlightSim-updates: R-Package for estimating energy consumption during avian flight

Description

The function first evaluates the x,y,z-components of the speed and then further evaluates the overall speed of flight. This flight speed is the actual speed at which the bird moves in air relative to incident airflow.

Usage

FlightSpeedComponents(t, x, y, z)

Arguments

t	Timestep from data
x	x-position from data
y	y-position from data
z	z-position from data

Details

FlightSpeedComponents sets up the x,y,z- components of the speed at which the bird flies from pre-defined 3D position and timestep after which it estimates the actual speed at which the bird is flying.

Value

Numeric value of flight Speed

Examples

x <- c(1:5)
y <- c(1:5)
z <- c(1:5)
t <- c(1:5)
bird <- BirdMorphParam(0.043, 0.4, 0.0171)
FS.Components <- FlightSpeedComponents(t,x,y,z)
