Calculation of the Flight Characteristics of the Aircraft, AN-225

Abstract

Flight dynamics - The science of the laws of motion of aircraft under the influence of wind, gravity, and reaction forces. It is a combination of mainly three classic disciplines: solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, and mathematics. Among the wide range of problems in the dynamics of flight of great practical importance are the problems connected with the study of the steady rectilinear motion of the aircraft. The solution allows them to determine the flight characteristics of the aircraft, characterized by the range of possible speeds and heights, rate of climb, range, flight time, and so on.
