A Computer Program for Estimating Aircraft Landing Distance.

Abstract

This report describes a computer program which will estimate the runway length required to land a specified airplane. The program accepts inputs describing the aircraft gross weight, velocity, drag, and engine performance and computes the landing distance on specified runway surfaces. Sample results for a time-engine STOL transport are included. The computer program is described along with instructions for its use. (Author)
