Distance Between Two Planes With Different Turn Radiuses
Is there a method for calculating the distance between two planes turning at a common point, traveling at the same speed and simultaneously performing turns with two different turn radiuses?
For example:
Plane A begins a turn with a 10,000 foot turn radius at waypoint "X".
Plane B begins a turn with a 20,000 foot turn radius at waypoint "X".
Each plane has a different Rate of Turn (in degrees per second) after 5 seconds.
What is the distance between the two planes after 5 seconds?
