TrueAirSpeed1: True airspeed (alternative 1)

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

Description

This function is the first function for evaluating the effect of wind on flight speed. It calculates true airspeed from user-defined x,y,z- windspeed components.

Usage

TrueAirSpeed1(FlightSpeedComponents, WindSpeed.x, WindSpeed.y, WindSpeed.z)

Arguments

FlightSpeedComponents	Components of speed of flight
WindSpeed.x	x-compenent of speed of wind
WindSpeed.y	y-compenent of speed of wind
WindSpeed.z	z-compenent of speed of wind

Details

If x,y,z-components of wind speed are not given, flight speed obtained from FlightSpeedComponents is assumed as true airspeed.

Value

True airspeed

Examples

x <- c(1:5)
y <- c(1:5)
z <- c(1:5)
t <- c(1:5)
wx <- seq(0.05,1,length.out=5)
wy <- seq(0.06,1.2,length.out=5)
wz <- seq(0.07,1.5,length.out=5)
FS.Components <- FlightSpeedComponents(t,x,y,z)

# When wind speed components are not given
T.airspeed <- TrueAirSpeed1(FS.Components)

# When wind speed components are given
T.airspeed <- TrueAirSpeed1(FS.Components, wx, wy, wz)
