In any event, what would be the use of inertia-based calculations, when airspeed (through an atmosphere always changing) is the important more bit to keep the plane in the air?
- drpixie 8y agoAviation does not usually require the precision assumed here. The aircraft would have flown fine anywhere between (say) 150k and 300k, so an initial-nav indication of (say) 250k +/- 20k would tell the crew that things are "close-enough". More useful at the time would be to set a "sensible" power level and maintain approximate altitude ... and looking out the window is usually helpful!
