Great-circle navigation or orthodromic navigation (related to orthodromic course; from Ancient Greek ορθός (orthós) 'right angle', and δρόμος (drómos) 'path') is the practice of navigating a vessel (a ship or aircraft) along a great circle. Such routes yield the shortest distance between two points on the globe.
27 lis 2013 · In this paper, the COFI method has been developed to calculate the waypoints along the GCT successfully using the multiple products of the vector algebra (VA-MP). Due to fixing the initial great circle course, the GCT can be determined and the waypoints along the GCT can be calculated directly.
Calculates the distance between two points of the Earth specified geodesic (geographical) coordinates along the shortest path - the great circle (orthodrome). Calculates the initial and final course angles and azimuth at intermediate points between the two given.
Initial and Final Courses of a Great Circle . The initial course always has same name as the initial latitude and east or west direction of the course. The final course always has the opposite name from final latitude unless initial position and final position are in different hemispheres, when the final will have same
7 kwi 2020 · Many mariners and students struggle to determine the Final (and Initial) course angle of a great circle course between two geographical positions. This video...
24 maj 2023 · In this video we solve the problem below. Determine the great circle distance and initial course from LAT 35° 17.6' N, LONG 144° 23.0' E to LAT 47° 36.0' N, LONG 124° 22.0' W. US Coast...
15 sie 2015 · Explains why GC dist is shortest possible distance on the surface of earth. Example to calculate GC dist, initial course and final course.
