Calculation and optimization 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. It offers a unique coverage of fixed and rotary wing
aircraft in a unified manner, including optimization, emissions
control, and regulation; and is ideal for students, aeronautical
engineering capstone projects, and for widespread professional
reference in the aerospace industry. It also offers a comprehensive
coverage of computer-based solutions of aerospace engineering
problems; the critical analysis of performance data; and case
studies from real-world engineering experience. It is also
supported by end of chapter exercises, an extensive instructor's
manual, and downloadable flight performance modeling code.The
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 postgraduate 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.
