The second new feature allows system engineers to model flight perturbances on vehicle dynamics like turbulence or wind gusts and, therefore, validate guidance, navigation, and control algorithms early in the program cycle. For the marine industry, we have introduced a database of sea routes with...
With level 5 wind, the air currents can be strong and erratic. Even with advanced drone control systems, maintaining stability becomes an uphill task. The unpredictable gusts force your drone off its intended path, demanding constant adjustments on your end to keep it steady and avoid collisions...
There's no sure link between Santa Ana winds — gusts from the east that come down the mountains, gain speed and hit the coast — to human-caused climate change, said Daniel Swain, climate scientist for the California Institute for Water Resources. ...
