Abstract

Behavior of flexible or rigid aircraft simulated under variety of conditions. Active Gear, Flexible Aircraft Takeoff and Landing Analysis program, AGFATL, completely simulates aircraft takeoff and landing dynamics. AGFATL represents airplane either as rigid body with six degrees of freedom or as flexible body with multiple degrees of freedom. AGFATL written in FORTRAN IV for batch execution.
