Zusammenfassung
Calculation and optimisation of flight performance is required to design or select new aircraft, efficiently operate existing aircraft, and upgrade aircraft. This book presents a range of advanced flight performance models for both transport and military aircraft including topics such as the numerical solution of supersonic acceleration.
