Aircraft cruise performance optimization using chattering controls

Aircraft Cruise Performance is examined by using energy-state modelling to investigate fuel-range optimal trajectories. Chattering controls are considered appropriate when the hodograph is non-convex. Classical steady-state cruise, simple chattering-cruise and the extended chattering-cruise m...
