WhizWheel is a simple iPhone application for pilots that provides a faster
alternative to the primary navigation calculations generally performed with a
circular slide rule (such as the CRP-1). Namely the calculation of track,
ground speed and flight time for a given air speed and heading, given the
current wind speed and direction.

As well as calculating the wind effect for a single point, the application
can help with ad-hoc navigation (such as diversions) by generating a
textual "wind rose" that shows the effect of wind in all directions; at
either 30 or 45 degree intervals.

As it is an iPhone application, the iPhone SDK is required to build
WhizWheel. The SDK will also allow WhizWheel to be run on the iPhone
simulator. To install your own builds of the application on an actual
iPhone requires an iPhone Developer Program membership.

The WhizWheel application can be downloaded in binary form, for free, from
the iTunes AppStore:

Version change lists can be found on the iTunes page or in the CHANGES file.
