See a Silent Wings rendering
Thursday, 27 January 2005

Silent Wings, is an appliance that allows you to see a 3D computed glider flight based on the data collected and registred with a GPS.

These data are stored in a called "igc file" and then controled for each pilot and for each competition day to see if the tasks were achieved.

These data can also be used by the Silent Wings viewer to make a full 3D rendering of the flight.

Watch now a 3D animation based on a flight done during the last CMVVM. Be carefull : 9.6 Mo in wmv format.
