Orientation: Example (1 of 2)

• Imagine 3 Airplanes

  • Flight Leader [FL] (in context of CLTSE 1)
  • Wingman 1 [W1] (in context of CLTSE 2)
  • Wingman 2 [W2] (in context of CLTSE 3)

• FL applies an orientation that Rolls him 30 degrees right in CLTE1

  • Leader transforms this orientation to CLTSE 2

• W1 applies new orientation, rolls 60 deg right in CLTSE 2

  • Leader transforms this orientation to CLTSE 3

• W2 applies new orientation, doesn’t roll at all

• All planes end up in same absolute orientation

• [ This contrived example rotates about only one axis ]
