Ryan and I had a couple interesting experiences today. We attended a Learn at Lunch project about outdated Analog Computers and how they are still useful in some ways today. The point was do not forget how the analog worked because that can help make things easier in the more modern world.
We also got to see and experience a high tech flight simulator. The displays that are present on board actual aircraft along with the simulation displays. The program correlates the GPS mapping and the GPS system to determine the location of the plane so there can be an artificial display that mimics the real life position of the plane. This allows the pilot to fly even when real visibility is low.
The projects are moving ahead. I've started to write a program (macro) in Excel to give a prediction based on the entered criteria. I will then test to see how accurate the program is.
