Chapter 10 Exercises
10.1 Describe the various phase of take-off flight, Write down the equations of motion during take-off run. Taking CD, CL and T as constant during take-off run show that the ground run (s1) is given by:
s1 = W ln S g (CD - CL ) - q1

where W, S, g, and have the usual meanings, q1 = dynamic pressure at the unstick point and

T -W . S (CD - CL )

10.2 A rocket motor firing for a short duration of say 10 s is proposed to be used to reduce the take of run. Explain that a larger reduction in the take-off distance would be achieved by using the rocket motor in the later part of the take-off run than in the beginning of the take-off run. 10.3 Describe various methods to reduce the take-off distance and landing distance.
