Description
Summary:This paper discusses an expedite approximate algorithm for obtaining the controls in the longitudinal maneuver of the aerospace vehicles. The equations of motion are written in terms of the flight path (the trajectory that is desired is also given in terms of flight path, that is the local radius of curvature is given as a function of flight path) and the controls required for following a desired trajectory obtained accordingly. A finite terms integration procedure is subsequently presented.
