Google Pilot/WEdge Viewer

Abstract

This paper summarizes the activity of USAF Academy cadet work on the Google Earth project for the CS 453/454 capstone course. The Google Pilot cadet project was a computer science 453/454 year long capstone project. Lt Col Berry led the students in their creation of a formalized system realized by Capt Jacobson a C-17 pilot. This project was demonstrated to leadership in the Air Force and was selected to be included into the next version of PFPS (Portable Flight Planning Software) released in late 2010, now called the WEdge Viewer.
