Preliminary Study of Optimal Wave-Off Control: A Parametric Approach.

Abstract

The feasibility of optimizing the wave-off performance of Naval aircraft is briefly considered. A simple, parametric approach to the problem is employed as a means of evaluating the potential of optimal control while avoiding the mathematical difficulties. It is concluded that the performance benefits from the use of optimal control are considerable in principle but may be difficult to realize in practice. (Author)
