| Jan 31, 2023 at 14:58 | comment | added | kj7rrv | @fab that does the opposite of what I need. I'm trying to find the airspeed of a model plane given the speed and direction of the plane from GPS and the wind speed and direction from an external source. | |
| Jan 31, 2023 at 14:57 | comment | added | kj7rrv | @sophit since it takes the direction from which the wind is coming, there is an "implied" 180° rotation which turns it into a subtraction, which is what I need. Ground velocity = air velocity + wind velocity, so air velocity= ground velocity - wind velocity. | |

| Jan 31, 2023 at 11:58 | comment | added | sophit | Do not forget that, since you are summing up flight speed and wind speed, then wind is positive when investing the aircraft from nose to tail. | |

| Jan 31, 2023 at 1:04 | comment | added | Jim | This kind of question should be broken into two parts. First check the derivation of the equation itself. I.e., the physics and math portion. Once you are sure the math is right, then focus on whether the code faithfully reproduces the calculation. We shouldn't have to derive the equation ourselves just to check your work. :-) | |
