High-Fidelity Simulations of Flight Dynamics and Trajectory of a Parachute–Payload System Leaving the C-17 Aircraft

This article examines the flight dynamics and trajectory analysis of a parachute–payload system deployed from a C-17 aircraft. The aircraft is modeled with an open cargo door, extended flaps, and four turbo-fan engines operating at an altitude of 2000 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and an airspeed of...
