3、of the distance an airplane floats with respectto the ground during deceleration at constant altitude, taking into account theeffects of a constant wind. By use of suitable nondimensionalizing parameterssuggested previously in the literature, data applicable to all airplanes arepresented by means of

4、 a single family of curves. The application of thesecurves in a typical example is included.INTRODUCTIONA study of the phase of flight in which an airplane decelerates at constantaltitude has several practical applications. If an airplane completes the land-ing flare with excessive speed, the pilot

5、may elect to hold the airplane off theground until a suitable touchdown speed or attitude is reached. General-aviationairplanes operating at large airports frequently approach at speeds higher thannormal to maintain their spacing in the traffic pattern. Measurements haveshown that, even in routine o

6、perations, many pilots land with excessive speed(ref. 1). The flight path of an airplane after an aborted take-off is anothersituation which may involve deceleration at constant altitude. Some situationsexist involving an excessive tendency to float during a landing. For example,landing with a tail

7、wind increases the distance covered. The effect of encoun-tering a head wind at low altitude is an increased initial airspeed which mayalso lengthen the floating distance. Sailplanes, because of their low drag,may float excessively in landing, particularly if a deceleration device such asa drag para

8、chute fails to work. In all these applications, the presence of windhas an important effect on the ground distance covered.A rational analysis of the landing of an airplane is given in reference 2.This analysis includes the phases of glide, flare, deceleration at constant alti-tude (called the float

9、 phase), and the ground run. Constant deceleration (corre-sponding to constant lift-drag ratio) was assumed during the float phase, anapproximation that was adequate for the purpose under consideration. Approxi-mate methods for the calculation of landing distance sometimes neglect the floatphase ent

10、irely (ref. 3). Some consideration of the role of the float phase indetermining certification standards for the landing distance of transport air-planes is given in reference 4 but again the assumption of constant lift-dragratio was made. In cases in which the flare is completed with considerableexc

11、ess speed, however, a more accurate method for calculating the distancecovered during the float phase would be desirable.A solution of the equations governing deceleration in level flight is pre-sented in reference 5. The analysis of reference 5 shows that by use of suit-able nondimensionalizing par

12、ameters, the solutions for air distance and airspeedmay be expressed by means of a pair of curves applicable to .all types of air-planes.

20、lowing equation:= 2mc PSCD,0and by expressing velocity in terms of a reference velocity given byThis reference velocity is the speed at which CDfO = KC2 and is thereforethe speed for the maximum ratio of lift to drag. Let s1 = s/Zp, Ug = Ug/Ur,and Uw = Uw/Ur. Equation (5) then becomesd 1), the angle

21、 should be between ir/2 and IT.RESULTSThe curves of figure 2 show in nondimensional form the float distance s1required to decelerate as a function of airspeed U1, for various values of tailwind or head wind. The results, based on equation (12), are presented in termsof the nondimensional parameters=

22、 s U uwJwwhere lp is the aerodynamic penetration defined as 2m/pSCDfO. As wasmentioned previously, these nondimensionalizing parameters are suggested inreference 5.The values of s1 are plotted as positive quantities in figure 2. Thenegative sign of s1 shown in equation (12) is ignored. This negative

23、 signin the formula results from the fact that the distance is increasing in a posi-tive direction as the airplane decelerates. If the point s1 = 0 correspondsto the point where the ground speed is zero, the airplane is, strictly speaking,in the region of negative values of s1 during the period of d

24、eceleration. .The constant of integration C in equation (12) may be used to place thezero of the scale of s1 at some arbitrary location. In the data presented,the value of C is determined such that, for tail winds, the value of s1 = 0when U1 =0, and for head winds, the value of s1 = 0 when U = 0 oru

This distance may be obtained asthe difference between the values of s1 at t

27、d. In the unlikely event that a head wind exists with velocity greaterthan the touchdown speed, the forward progress of the airplane stops whenU1 = -Uw. In this case, the maximum forward penetration of the airplane maybe obtained from the value of s1 at the initial airspeed, inasmuch as thefinal val

28、ue is plotted as zero when U1 = -Uw.DISCUSSIONThe results of this analysis are based on the assumption that the drag isgiven by an expression of the form CD = CDfO + KCj. If the airplane is float-ing at low altitude, the values of CDfO and K may be influenced by groundeffect. Values appropriate to t

29、he altitude under consideration should thereforebe used. The primary effect of proximity to the ground is a reduction in theinduced drag as expressed by the value of K. At high values of lift coeffi-cient, the ground effect may also reduce the effective dynamic pressure. Ifthe airspeed is considered

30、 to be the speed with respect to the distant air mass,as is required for calculation of the distance covered, the effect of thisreduction in dynamic pressure may be approximated by appropriate modificationsin C)fO and K. The effect of an idling propeller or jet engine may intro-duce drag or thrust t

31、erms that differ in form from the assumed expressionCjj = CDfO + KC. A more detailed analysis would be required to account forthese effects.The value of float distance for a particular case may be read from figure 2and converted back to dimensional form. If more accuracy is required, the valuemay be

32、 calculated from equation (12). Alternatively, the entire plot presentedin figure 2 may be converted back to dimensional form for application to a par-ticular airplane. An example is shown in figure 3, which presents the float dis-tances for a general-aviation airplane with the characteristics shown

33、 in thefigure. The drag characteristics assumed correspond to a lift-drag ratio of6.98 at the stall (CL = 1.2). This value of lift-drag ratio is representativeof the condition of flaps and landing gear down.In reference 5, the float distance and time are each given as functions ofairspeed by express

34、ions similar to the first and second terms, respectively, ofequation (12). Both time and distance are involved in the present analysisbecause, with a head wind, the distance the airplane moves with respect to theair must be corrected for the movement of the air with respect to the groundProvided by
