Flight mechanics
• What is the performance of a given aircraft; i.e. how far, high,
fast, slow can it fly?
• How long can an aircraft remain airborne following an engine
failure and how far can it glide?
• How is aircraft morphology related to aircraft performance?

14 Flight mechanics
Equations of motion Newton’s laws
Newton’s laws only hold with respect to a frame of reference which is in absolute rest. This is called an inertial frame of reference
Coordinate systems translating uniformly to the frame of reference in absolute rest are also inertial frames of reference
A rotating frame of reference is not an inertial frame of reference

Aerodynamic forces
• Di predominant factor at low airspeeds
Large S; low wing loading (W/S) required
• D0 predominant factor at high airspeeds
Small parasite drag CD0 and small S; high wing loading (W/S)
Consequences for aircraft design
Very low speed aircraft (bicycle plane) high speed aircraft (F104 Starfighter)

Blade element theory How to calculate the thrust and torque of a prop
Step 1: Calculate angle of attack of blade element
Step 2: Calculate Lift and Drag of element
Step 3: Integrate forces over whole blade (thrust and torque)
Step 4: Calculate induced velocity (actuator disk)
Step 0: assume induced velocity is equal to zero
