Abstract

Flexible Aircraft Takeoff and Landing Analysis Program, FATOLA, simulates aircraft takeoff and landing dynamics. Program includes maneuver logic and autopilots for glide slope, flare, landing, and takeoff and is modular so performance of aircraft in flight and during landing and ground maneuvers can be studied separately or in combination.
