The model would be complex, and this 'synthesized IAS' could be thought of as a complementary reading, used when there was an eventual problem with the main meter.

So the wing shape at 100knots and the wing shape at 200knots would be essentially identical for the same weight.
The resistance will here be quadrupled and this will bend the wing accordingly.

The accelerometer data is meant to make the reading / the modeling more accurate.

(I dropped out of school long before any of the above and we only had access to an ABC 80 btw
