Abstract:Aerospace Engineering (ABSTRACT)Aircraft Cruise Performance is examlned by using energy-state modelling to investigate fuel-range·optimal trajectories. Chattering controls are considered appropriate when the hodograph is non-convex.Classical steady-state cruise, simple chattering-cruise and the extended chattering-cruise models are studied as constrained parameter-optimization problems. The term "extended chattering" refers to vehicle system modelling extended to maintaln vertical equilibrium only on the avera… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
