Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
obtaining location data representing a ground path of a flight of an object;
determining, from the location data, a first ground distance traversed by the object during an ascent phase of the flight of the object;
determining, from the location data, a second ground distance traversed by the object during a descent phase of the flight of the object;
determining an initial angle of the flight of the object based on the first ground distance and the second ground distance;
determining an initial airspeed of the object based on the determined initial angle;
determining an air drag value for the object during the flight based on the determined initial angle and the determined initial airspeed;
outputting a flight path of the object, the flight path representing a three-dimensional path travelled by the object during the flight and determined based on the initial angle, the initial airspeed and the air drag value.
