Dynamic Soaring
With the Sinus we can simulate DYNAMIC SOARING.
At a safe altitude we can fly the path the albatross fly close to the sea.
It is a simple four steps:
a downwind dive maybe 25 deg pitch
an 180 deg tight turn maybe 50 deg bank,
an upwind climb maybe 25 deg pitch
an 180 deg tight turn maybe 50 deg bank,
and this steps repeat over and over
The albatross with this flying extract energy from the wind gradient
