Calculating the distance between two points along a rhumb line. In the next diagram, A, B, C, D and Z are meridians of longitude; the lines aB, bC, and cD are different parallels of latitude; and the line ABCDZ is a rhumb line.
27 cze 2024 · In this paper, equations are established to solve problems of Rhumb Line Sailing (RLS) on an oblate spheroid. Solutions are provided for both the inverse problem and the direct problem, thereby providing a complete solution to RLS.

Introduction. The formulas for determining a ship's dead-reckoned position, given an initial known location, the vessel's course and speed, and the time elapsed, are referred to as the sailing...
Formulas regarding the rhumbline sailing computation are given in a form convenient for calculations done with a use of commonly accessible electronic calculators.
Calculation of a distance on loxodrome (rhumb line) and course angle (azimuth) between two points with a given geographical coordinates.
27 cze 2024 · A rule of thumb procedure to calculate rhumb-line distances correctly with no more labour than that which has always been used to do it wrongly. 5. A method (with table) for use on the spheroid when the track angle is nearly 90° and the method Turner discusses is impracticable.
