Análises do desempenho de aeronaves considerando os modelos de terra esférica girante e terra plana

Abstract

The Flat Earth model is satisfactorily assigned only on common aircraft. With the development of the aeronautical sector and the emergence of high performance hypersonic vehicles, or in long duration flights, it becomes necessary to study the spherical Earth model and the related equations of motion. This work presents a bibliographic review and theoretical foundation of the mentioned models, as well as applications in this line of study to simulations in gliding, straight and level flight and coordinated curve flight regimes. Finally, the conclusions from the simulations are established and certain possible works to be developed in this line of study are established.
