A Digital Simulation Program Describing the Motion of an Aircraft Undergoing Engine Failure During Its Takeoff Ground Roll.

Abstract

This report presents a non-interactive 'MIMIC' program developed to generate the time history of an aircraft undergoing an engine failure during its ground roll. The program calculates the forces and moments acting on the aircraft, and uses MIMIC's implicit integration routine to track its motion. The equations and assumptions used are presented and discussed. This report also lists the program and delineates its functions. (Author)
