Solves and animates how to calculate the missing values of a wind triangle.
This app solves a wind triangle by allowing you entering four values out of six (three speeds and three angles) and calculating the remaining two. It then explains how you get these results with a flight computer, by animating it: it rotates the disk, slides it and add marks. It also shows what value to use for each step towards the solution.
You can enter the data using a keyboard or by clicking the "--", "-". "+" and "++" buttons to decrease/increase a value. Keep the mouse pressed to keep decreasing/increasing a value.
The app starts in the language of the Windows operating system, provided it is English, French, German, Spanish or Dutch. In all other cases, the language used is English.
This app is the free version of the Animated Flight Computer app, which contains many more functions and animations.
