Summary

A mathematical model is presented of the aircraft program flight along a predetermined trajectory, with or without a specified speed history. Moreover, the aircraft is constrained to coordinated turns, which implies zero value of sideslip angle. The final equations of program motion are derived as a set of differential/algebraic equations. The aircraft control input ensuring the exact realisation of program constraints results from the transient dynamic solution of the equations of program motion. A simple numerical illustration is included.
