Figure 4.30: Polar Parabola
The
Polar
menu option allows the user to dene the glider polar curve. The polar curve is approximated
by a parabola which is dened by 3 points identied by
Max; Between; Min
(see Figure 4.30). Each point
corresponds to a pair <horizontal speed in km/h, vertical speed m/s> where both values are positive,
that are dened by the user (see Figure 4.31). In order to avoid errors the
Max
and
Min
points should
correspond respectively to the maximum and minimum horizontal speed of the glider. The point
Between
should be some point between the Maximum and Minimum.
