<strong>Example</strong> - <strong>Aircraft</strong> <strong>Climb</strong> <strong>Performance</strong>Controlling the Speed Pr<strong>of</strong>ile• Very large capacity transport aircraft (http://128.173.204.63/courses/cee5614/cee5614_pub/AirbusA380_class.m)• The aircraft speed is controlled by the last three lines <strong>of</strong> data inthe aircraft data file• Line 1 (see below) defines the climb speed in knots (indicatedairspeed)• Line 2 defines the descent speed in knots (IAS)• Line 3 defines the altitudes at which each speed value is selected• For example: The aircraft below climbs at 210 knots just aftertake<strong>of</strong>f (zero altitude) and reaches 250 knots at 4000 metersVirginia Tech - Air Transportation Systems Laboratory4
