Sun Ship Game on Youtube - Complete
Hi,
I have a link on my Soaring Links page "Theory, Equations & Spreadsheets" to a site in Melbourne (link below) which includes a program to calculate and plot a Stocker final glide calculator as described in Helmut Reichmann's book Cross Country Soaring. http://www.gliding-in-melbourne.org/resource.htm More interesting links are he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/soaring_links/theory.htm Good Soaring, Paul Remde "Bob Gibbons" wrote in message ...

There are several versions but the one I have has a side to place a sectional chart (or portion of one) and a spiral set of lines to show glide distance into a headwind. You twist the correct line over your current location and I think it indicates the correct altitude for final glide, or some combination thereof. If someone is really interested I can post pictures on my website. m l b ( at ) m i k e b a m b e r g . c o m (remove the spaces, replace the at) drop me a line and I'll go through the effort. Mike I presented a paper at the 1991 OSTIV meeting detailing a software program, written in HP BASIC, to compute the required parameters and plot the graphic overlay for this type of final glide computer, which Helmut Reichmann called a "Stocker" calculator. On my copy of Reichmann's "Cross Country Soaring", the descirption of the computer is on page 120. The program I wrote was designed to drive an HP plotter which generated an overlay what would be printed on a transparency and overlaid on top of a sectional map. If anyone is interested in ancient historical artifacts, send me an email and I'll forward a copy of the paper. Bob |
