Lecture

Aircraft with Lateral Wind: Velocity and Direction

Description

This lecture discusses the calculation of an aircraft's velocity and direction relative to the wind when flying to a specific location with lateral wind. It covers the transformation of Galilean coordinates, determining the aircraft's speed and heading, and applying physics concepts to solve the problem. The instructor provides examples and explanations using different reference frames and angles, emphasizing the importance of understanding relative motion in physics.
