Matlab based Trajectory Simulation of the Actual Code that will run on Data Acquisition System onboard the Primary Aircraft.
- Drag values for Howlers and Water Bottles (Supply Payloads) were computed using Computational Fluid Dynamics.
- Drag Coefficients (Cd) for the respective payloads were calculated using Drag Equation.
- Calculated values along with Airspeed, Average Wind Speed (in Lakeland, Florida) were added to the Matlab code.
