Virtual Aircraft Take-off - History ribbons
History ribbons may be used to track the movement of entities through space. In this case the history ribbon shows how the aircraft accelerated on the runway and then took off. The arrow-indexes on the ribbon are spaced a specific time apart, so that one may get an idea of the acceleration and relative movement of the aircraft.
