11.4 Takeoff & Landing<br />

The RFP requires that the aircraft be able to takeoff and land on an icy standard NATO runway 8,000 ft long.<br />

Takeoff and landing calculations were done according to MIL-C5011A. Takeoff and landing were simulated by<br />

numerically integrating velocity and rate of climb to determine distances and altitudes over a standard flight profile.<br />

Additional drag due to flaps and landing gear was taken into account for takeoff and landing as well as -25% military<br />

thrust from the thrust reverser during landing. The takeoff and landing profiles used in the simulation are shown in<br />

Figure 11.10 and Figure 11.11.<br />

MIL-C5011A defines field length to be the distance required to takeoff and clear a 50 ft obstacle or the distance<br />

to land from a 50 ft obstacle. Takeoff and touchdown speed are defined as 1.1 times the aircraft’s stall speed, and the<br />

speed over the 50 ft obstacle must be greater or equal to 1.2 times the stall speed for both takeoff and landing. The<br />

takeoff gross weight for the design mission of 125,051 lb was used for the aircraft weight for both takeoff and landing<br />

calculations. This allows the aircraft to land immediately after takeoff without the need to jettison fuel or weapons.<br />

Takeoff and touchdown speeds were always greater than the required 1.1 times the stall speed because of the<br />

acceleration during the 3 second rotation and roll periods. During takeoff, due to the high speeds of the aircraft, the 50 ft<br />

obstacle was cleared before the climb angle was reached, so the climb segment of the profile was ignored. Also, to<br />
