This PR has been updated to compute the ground speed based on lat-;on position and elevation. A sample climb, cruise and descent trajectory is used to calculate the aircraft heading and a uniform grid interpolator is built to extract to u & v wind components based on position. Look at main.py to understand how the script functions. These functionalities should suffice to meet the L0 requirements. For L1, the following should be addressed: |

This PR adds functionality to evaluate True Airspeed (TAS) as a function of aircraft position and altitude using ERA5 wind data.
A dummy trajectory is generated from
"../missions/sample_missions_10.json", and aircraft headings are computed using geodesic arcs between origin-destination (O-D) pairs. Interpolated wind vectors at a specified pressure level are used to calculate TAS and drift angles along the path.Future work will involve refactoring the implementation to query wind and heading at each collocation point, though the core logic is expected to remain unchanged.
