Calculation and optimisation of flight performance is required to
design or select new aircraft, efficiently operate existing
aircraft, and upgrade aircraft. It provides critical data for
aircraft certification, accident investigation, fleet management,
flight regulations and safety. This book presents an unrivalled
range of advanced flight performance models for both transport and
military aircraft, including the unconventional ends of the
envelopes. Topics covered include the numerical solution of
supersonic acceleration, transient roll, optimal climb of propeller
aircraft, propeller performance, long-range flight with en-route
stop, fuel planning, zero-gravity flight in the atmosphere, VSTOL
operations, ski jump from aircraft carrier, optimal flight paths at
subsonic and supersonic speed, range-payload analysis of fixed- and
rotary wing aircraft, performance of tandem helicopters,
lower-bound noise estimation, sonic boom, and more. This book will
be a valuable text for undergraduate and post-graduate level
students of aerospace engineering. It will also be an essential
reference and resource for practicing aircraft engineers, aircraft
operations managers and organizations handling air traffic control,
flight and flying regulations, standards, safety, environment, and
the complex financial aspects of flying aircraft.
