Solutions to the direct and inverse navigation problems on the great ellipse
The Great Ellipse (GE) is the curve of intersection between the surface and a plane through the center of an ellipsoid. For arcs within a few thousands of kilometres it agrees within a few metres with the geodesic. As the direct and indirect navigation problems for the GE can be solved almost entire...
