AN EXPERIMENTAL METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE FLIGHT PATH OF LOW-FLYING AIRCRAFT.

Abstract

In human factors experiments related to Army airborne man-machine systems, data are often required that yield a low-flying aircraft's flight-path time history. This report describes an inexpensive method that simply requires two ground-based, synchronized motion-picture cameras. With this method, the aircraft's spatial coordinates are analytically determined as a function of time. (Author)
