Aircraft: Swath Points

The location of the horizon on the central body surface, as viewed from the object. For the Ground Elevation Envelope or Vehicle Half Angle Envelope swath types, the left/right swath point may not exist. If it does not, the point being reported at that time uses the Ground Elevation or Vehicle Half Angle swath setting as appropriate.

Name Description
Left Swath The horizon point on the left side of the horizontal component of velocity vector. The velocity vector is measured as observed from the object's central body fixed coordinate system. The horizontal component is that component not along the detic zenith of the object.
Right Swath The horizon point on the right side of the horizontal component of velocity vector. The velocity vector is measured as observed from the object's central body fixed coordinate system. The horizontal component is that component not along the detic zenith of the object.
