Aerial photography is to be taken of a tract of land that is X-mi square. Flying height will be H ft above average terrain, and the camera has focal length f. If the focal plane opening is 9 × 9 in., and minimum sidelap is 40 %, how many flight lines will be needed to cover the tract for the data given below?
Part A:
Express your answer as an integer.
X=9; H=3600ft; f=152.40mm
An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until is finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.
When an airport is designed, it is important to have the runways positioned so that planes take off into the wind. Refer to the accompanying wind rose, and discuss the orientation of the runway and the direction the planes would travel when they take off.
