Flight mechanics  

Description

Flight mechanics tasks, forces operating on the aircraft (SP). Dy- namics of aircraft motion as a material point. Aircraft motions on rectilinear trajectories inclined at any angle. Aircraft transient motion on vertical and horizontal straight and curvilinear tracks and on space tracks. SP take-off and landing issues, aerodynamic charac- teristics in the take-off configuration and in the landing configura- tion. Dynamics of SP motion as a material solid. Equilibrium, static stability and longitudinal controllability of aircraft. Equilibrium, static stability and lateral controllability, aircraft equilibrium curve. Mo- ments acting on an aircraft in transient motion. Peculiarities of air- craft flight at large angles of attack. Suborbital and orbital flights of spacecraft.
