he accuracy of the determination of the true flight path is chiefly dependent upon the accuracy with which the wind vectors are deter- mined. Not only is the magnitude important, but the direction also is extremely important. Both of these items must be accurately measured if the yaw and radius of… … Figure 2.—Camera obscura record of a reversal times and altitudes. In attempting to use these vectors it was found that no consistent results could be obtained, and this method of determining the turning characteristics had to be aban- doned. However, the attitude of the airship is not affected by…
