Maths coursework Aim A group of researchers set up a series of observation sites in the Arctic on a circumference of a circle of radius 50km.They need to set up a base camp so they can visit a different site each day. Assumptions These are assumptions that can be made. 1. Altitude 2. Weather conditions 3. Air resistance 4. Plane speed constant 5. Wind speed constant throughout/No gust/Same direction 6. Time for turning around 7. Time for taking off and landing 8. Rotation of the Earth 9. Weight of fuel 10. Thermal 11. Safety 12. Breakdowns (damaged plane) 13. Plane could get damaged and not fly as well as before, result in less speed and longer journey time. Model 1 The Arctic Tern is legendary among Alaska's backcountry pilots as a true STOL workhorse that is able to operate from the shortest unimproved landing areas while packing a really useful load with an extra margin of safety. The Arctic Tern...
