Influence of drag force upon the shortest time trajectory of an aircraft
The shortest time trajectory of an aircraft between two given locations is determined using a simple mathematical model. By taking into account the drag force (viscous friction force with the air), a problem of variational calculus is obtained which consists in determining two functions that minimiz...
