Performance of the Jet Transport Airplane: Analysis Methods, Flight Operations, and Regulations

5/5 ( ratings)

Performance of the Jet Transport Airplane: Analysis Methods, Flight Operations, and Regulations presents a detailed and comprehensive treatment of performance analysis techniques for jet transport airplanes. Uniquely, the book describes key operational and regulatory procedures and constraints that directly impact the performance of commercial airliners.

Topics include: rigid body dynamics; aerodynamic fundamentals; atmospheric models ; height scales and altimetry; distance and speed measurement; lift and drag and associated mathematical models; jet engine performance ; takeoff and landing performance ; takeoff climb and obstacle clearance; level, climbing and descending flight ; cruise and range ; payload-range; endurance and holding; maneuvering flight ; total energy concepts; trip fuel planning and estimation ; en route operations and limitations ; cost considerations ; weight, balance and trim; flight envelopes and limitations ; environmental considerations ; aircraft systems and airplane performance ; and performance-related regulatory requirements of the FAA and EASA .

Key features:

Describes methods for the analysis of the performance of jet transport airplanes during all phases of flight Presents both analytical methods and numerical approaches Describes key FAA and EASA regulations that impact airplane performance Presents equations and examples in both SI and USC units Considers the influence of operational procedures and their impact on airplane performance Performance of the Jet Transport Airplane: Analysis Methods, Flight Operations, and Regulations provides a comprehensive treatment of the performance of modern jet transport airplanes in an operational context. It is a must-have reference for aerospace engineering students, applied researchers conducting performance-related studies, and flight operations engineers.
