Pattern B side elevation and plan view
Side elevation showing two drones at altitude H, one with a nadir gimbal and one with a 45 degree oblique gimbal. Plan view shows a double-grid of E-W and N-S flight paths covering a square survey area, with a perimeter orbit around the outside.
Side elevation
Each pass flies the same grid; only gimbal pitch changes.
