Review of the Carrier Approach Criteria for Carrier-Based Aircraft - Phase I: Final Report

Abstract

The approach speed criteria used in the design and development of carrier-based aircraft was investigated. This report provides a historical review, analysis of requirements, and an analysis of legacy aircraft relative to the approach speed criteria. The relevancy and adequacy of the carrier approach speed criteria are assessed. Recommendations for future investigations and assessment are presented.
