Fig. 5. Summary plots of airspeed (A), sinking speed (B) and horizontal speed (C) vs time. Each box represents the standard quartiles of the pooled distribution of all 14 trajectories at each time interval. Error bars represent 10th and 90th percentiles, respectively. All speeds increased early in the trajectory. Airspeed and sinking speed leveled off after about 1 s. The horizontal speed increased throughout. Note the temporary decrease in variance near the transition points (indicating the end of the initial acceleration) in each speed plot (arrows).
