Numeryczna symulacja programowego ruchu samolotu w pętli pionowej
An airplane programmed motion in vertical loop has been simulated. The airplane center of gravity was demanded to describe an ideal circle, and in the other example, additionally a constant flying speed was postulated. The model of airplane control ensures that the simulated motion complies with the program constraints. The airplane was modelled as a rigid body controlled parametrically by jet thrust force and elevator deflections. Some results of numerical calculations are presented.
