AN AUTOMATIC LANDING SYSTEM FOR LOW LIFT-DRAG GLIDE VEHICLES,

Abstract

The pitch plane dynamics of a landing vehicle are studied by analytic approximation and analog simulation. A landing system design is discussed for application to low lift/drag vehicles. Flare velocity loss minimization is studied using the maximum principle. (Author)
