Flight Mechanics
University of Alabama
This course covers concepts in space and atmospheric flight mechanics. Space flight mechanics covers material regarding Keplerian orbits and orbital maneuvers as well as rocket-powered launch and re-entry performance. Atmospheric flight mechanics covers material regarding straight-and-level, climbing, descending, gliding, and turning flight as well as range, endurance, takeoff, and landing performance for piston and jet- powered airplanes.
