From the summary this paper used accelerations (bumps) and torques as the method to find and center thermals, as opposed to sensing vertical air speed. Has that been done before?

It is use in my cockpit on every flight.

UH, I thought you were twerking, not torquing in the cockpit.

Oooohhhh. Gosh Tim. That's a picture.
Laughter erupting.

I don't think anyone can twerk or torque in a -27 tub. Now, in the rear of the ASKbus with trainees up front --always.
You know those wingroot baggage boxes were made by CFI shoulders, right?

I agree with Hank. Every flight.

Thanks for the science/software class though to the
OP and supplementers.
