Description
- details – Calculate the height or altitude of model rockets and airplanes using one or two trackers or two pairs of trackers in competition. AltiCalc can also be used for simple surveying.Calculations are performed using two trackers or theodollites set a distance apart along a baseline. At the maximum altitude, tracking stops and the azimuth and elevation from each tracker are input into Alticalc, along with the baseline distance. The attitude is then calculated with the deviation or error. Competition rules specify the allowable error percentage. The altitude is calculated in whatever units the baseline was entered, feet or meters for example.Application features:Set the number of trackers being usedIn competition, trackers are used in pairs. AltiCalc takes all tracker information and returns altitude calculations for the pair of trackers yielding the lowest error rates.Switch between degrees or gradian angles for inputSwitch between the vertical midpoint method of calculation or the m… – More…
