Calculating Headwind/Tailwind component
I recall seeing an OSTIV paper, by someone from New-Zealand if I'm correct, where
the wind vector was derived from just the pitot and GPS. Using multiple pitot/GPS
combinations, the most likely wind direction was estimated.
The paper used data from the perlan project as an example. The more deviations in
course, the better the result was. Appeared quite promising to me.
