Abstract

A dynamic computer study of various ways of leaving a thermal has been made. The principal goal was to evaluate different thermal-outs, considering cross-country flight tactics. Therefore, a few thousand flight simulations have been made. The research shows the possibility of practical utilization of vertical wind speed gradient through "dynamic" thermal-outs.
