Soaring energetics and glide performance in a moving atmosphere
Here we analyse the energetics, performance, and optimization of flight in a moving atmosphere. We begin by deriving a succinct expression describing all of the mechanical energy flows associated with gliding, dynamic soaring, and thermal soaring, which we use to explore the optimization of gliding...
