This document provides an overview of the topics covered in a presentation on flight mechanics, takeoff, and landing. The core topics include basics of atmosphere, aircraft classification, airplane configuration, flight instruments, aerodynamic forces, and airplane performance including takeoff, landing, climb, descent, stability, and equations of motion. The presentation will focus on takeoff and landing performance, outlining the different segments of ground roll for takeoff and approach/flare/ground roll distances for landing, as well as factors that influence accelerated performance like drag, minimum control speeds, and decision speeds. References for further information are provided.
4. Accelerated Performance
Takeoff Performance
The distance covered by an airplane along the runway before it lifts into the air?
Landing Performance
What is distance required to land an airplane?
5. 1. Vstall: Stalling velocity (L=W)
2. Vmcg: minimum control speed on the
ground (Vertical Fin-Rudder)
3. Vmca: minimum control speed in the air
4. V1: decision speed
5. VR: takeoff rotational speed (Elevator)
6. Vmu: minimum unstick speed (AOA)
7. VLO: lift-off speed (1.1 Vstall)
