Abstract
Methods and systems for depicting a wind force exerted on an airborne vehicle are provided herein. The method includes receiving, by a processor, wind data measured by one or more airborne vehicles and position data associated with the one or more airborne vehicles. The method also includes generating, by the processor, a map display depicting a position of each of the one or more airborne vehicles based on the received position data. The method further includes generating a vehicle symbol on the map display for each of the one or more airborne vehicles. The vehicle symbol includes a vehicle indicator and a wind indicator. The wind indicator includes a symbol indicating a speed and a direction of wind exerted on the vehicle.
Claims23
A method of depicting a wind force exerted on an airborne vehicle, said method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, wind data measured by one or more airborne vehicles and position data associated with the one or more airborne vehicles;
- generating, by the processor, a map display depicting a position of each of the one or more airborne vehicles based on the received position data;
- and
- generating a vehicle symbol on the map display for each of the one or more airborne vehicles, the vehicle symbol including a vehicle indicator and a wind indicator, the wind indicator including a symbol indicating a speed and a direction of wind exerted on the vehicle.
A computing device for depicting a wind force exerted on an airborne vehicle, said computing device configured to:
- receive wind data measured by one or more airborne vehicles and position data associated with the one or more airborne vehicles;
- generate a map display depicting a position of the one or more airborne vehicles based on the received position data;
- and
- generate a vehicle symbol on the map display for each of the one or more airborne vehicles, the vehicle symbol including a vehicle indicator and a wind indicator, the wind indicator including a symbol indicating a speed and a direction of wind exerted on the airborne vehicle.
A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for depicting a wind force exerted on an airborne vehicle, wherein when executed by a computing device having at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the computing device to:
- receive wind data measured by the airborne vehicle and position data associated with the airborne vehicle;
- generate a map display depicting a position of the airborne vehicle based on the received position data;
- and
- generate a vehicle symbol on the map display, the vehicle symbol including a vehicle indicator and a wind indicator, the wind indicator including a symbol indicating a speed and a direction of wind exerted on the airborne vehicle.
