Dynamics of Aircraft Flight – eBook

Performance calculations can be classified into three main types: thrust, lift, and slope. Firstly, since the lift profile is known and unmodifiable from when an aircraft is designed, the mass at a given speed or the speed at a given mass must be determined. Then, once the thrust of the engines and the mass are known, the slope must be calculated. Finally, once the slope is known (for example, level flight) and the mass is, it is necessary to deduce the thrust; this is the position of the throttle control lever that ensures balance.

The corresponding consumption must then be defined. Performance specifications for customer aircraft, such as manoeuvrability, maintenance, safety, fuel consumption, and testability, have become ever more demanding with each generation of equipment. Significant technical advances have been required: engines, materials to reduce mass, wing profiles, etc. This ebook presents a theoretical approach to flight mechanics that makes it possible to grasp the subject and links it with the empirical approach of manufacturers.
