Abstract:
Methods and systems for depicting a wind force exerted on an airborne vehicle are provided herein. The method includes receiving, by a processor, wind data measured by one or more airborne vehicles and position data associated with the one or more airborne vehicles. The method also includes generating, by the processor, a map display depicting a position of each of the one or more airborne vehicles based on the received position data. The method further includes generating a vehicle symbol on the map display for each of the one or more airborne vehicles. The vehicle symbol includes a vehicle indicator and a wind indicator. The wind indicator includes a symbol indicating a speed and a direction of wind exerted on the vehicle.
