Determining a flight path of an object

Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of computer-readable instructions executable by a processor, wherein execution of the instructions configures the processor to: obtain location data representing a ground path of a flight of an object; determine, from the location data, a first ground distance and a second ground distance traversed by the object during an ascent phase and a descent phase of the flight of the object, respectively; determine an initial angle of the flight of the object; determine an initial airspeed of the object based on the determined initial angle; determine an air drag value for the object during the flight based on the determined initial angle and the determined initial airspeed; output a flight path of the object, the flight path representing a three-dimensional path travelled by the object during the flight and determined based on the initial angle, the initial airspeed and the air drag value.
