I have now rebuilt an AI aircraft (artificial intelligence) so that it can drag my Perlan II to 10,000 feet. 60 waypoints with altitude and speed were chosen so that a realistic towing can be flown. In the original, this procedure takes 35 minutes, in my video I set the wind to 3 kt (original it is 35 kt on the ground) so that the dragging takes only 29 minutes.

Have fun watching the Video 36 minutes

Ich habe nun ein AI Flugzeug (künstliche Inteligenz) so umgebaut, daß es meinen Perlan-II auf 10.000 Fuß Höhe schleppen kann. Dazu wurden 60 Wegpunkte mit Höhe und Geschwindigkeit ausgewählt, so daß ein realistischer Schlepp nachgeflogen werden kann. Im Original dauert diese Prozedur 35 Minuten, in meinemVideo habe ich den Wind auf 3 kt gestellt (im Original ist von 35 kt am Boden auszugehen), so daß der Schlepp nur 29 Minuten dauert.
