S. of Ramaiah Engineering University & Technology of Applied Sciences ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Take-off and Landing Take-off Field Length • The take-off field length is generally split into three sections: – Take-off Distance: The ground distance required from brakes release at the start of the runway, accelerating from rest until the aircraft reaches a 'screen' height above the runway. – Take-off Run: The ground distance required from brakes release at the start of the runway, accelerating from rest until the aircraft reaches a point between lift-off and a 'screen' height above the runway. This point can vary between different airworthiness requirements. Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences 10 Take off Field Length • Accelerate-Stop Distance: The ground distance required from brakes release till the aircraft reaches a decision speed and then the brakes are applied until the aircraft comes to a complete stop.

Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Take off Distance Components • The take-off distance can be split into four different phases: – Ground acceleration – Rotation phase – Transition phase – Initial climb out to screen • Typically, the aircraft take-off manoeuvres corresponding to the take-off distance phases listed above can be split as seen in figure 12 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M.

Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Take off Distance Components V2 VR VLOF V1 VMCG • VMCA Before the aircraft becomes airborne – – – the aircraft is accelerating along the ground until rotation at the rotation speed (VR) transition to lift-off speed (VLOF) and climb out to achieve take-off safety speed (V2) at the screen, usually 35 ft. 14 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Takeoff : Ground Run • To calculate the ground roll, we need to write the equations of motion for the vehicle as it moves down the runway. – See figure below 15 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Takeoff : Ground Run • The forces that act on it are the aerodynamic forces of – Lift and Drag (L and D), the thrust force (T), – The ground normal force (R) and the ground friction force (μR), where μ is the coefficient of rolling friction. • We can now write the equations of motion along the runway and perpendicular to it. 16 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M.

S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Takeoff : Ground Run • In order to be able to integrate the above equations, we need some functional relationships. We assume that Thrust T depends on V as follows π = π0 − ππ 2 Where: T0 = Thrust a zero airspeed (Static Thrust) T = Thrust at airspeed V a = constant that can be positive, negative or zero • Substituting the above assumption into the equations derived earlier and collecting terms of V 2 20 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M.

S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Takeoff : Ground Run • As before we want to find the condition when S is minimum • This happens when we have – Maximum value for A which depends on Thrust/weight ratio and friction coefficient μ – Minimum value for B, here we have control only over C Lg and C Dg πΆππ − μπΆπΏπ = πΆπ·0πΏπ + πΎπ πΆπΏ2π − μπΆπΏπ πΆπ·0πΏπ Reduce this by cleaner aircraft 24 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Takeoff : Ground Run • Improve C L g by better high lift devices and also higher angle of a/c during ground run – Simply making the front landing gear taller achieves this !! • We can find the optimum value by differentiating and equating to zero π(πΆπ·0πΏπ +πΎπ πΆπΏ2π − ππΆπΏπ ) ππΆπΏπ πΆπΏπ = 2K g CLg − μ = 0 μ = 2πΎπ 25 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Takeoff : Ground Effect • When an aircraft is flying near the ground it’s efficiency improves – Because of interference between the horse-shoe vortex and ground • One of the methods for correcting for ground effect is to modify value of K πΎ= 1 ππ΄π π Ο= β 16 π by πΎπ = ΟπΎ where 2 β 1 + 16 π 2 h = height of the wing above the ground b = wingspan e = Oswald efficiency factor 26 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Landing Run • The opposite of the takeoff procedure is the landing procedure. • Just as in the takeoff, the landing maneuver consists of two parts: – The terminal glide over a 50 ft obstacle to touchdown – The landing ground run • Some calculations include a flare from the landing glide to the touchdown. • However, for a maximum performance landing (short field landing procedure), very little flare is used. 27 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Landing Run • Here we will neglect the flare portion of landing and assume the aircraft touches down at slightly higher speed than it would after flaring. • The equations of motion governing the landing ground run are the same as those for takeoff. • However, the constants A and B can be quite different. – Thrust can be zero or even negative (reverse thrust) – The runway rolling friction can be much larger due to braking. 28 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Landing Run • The boundary conditions are different – At the beginning of the ground roll the velocity is that at touchdown, VTD – At the end of the ground run, the velocity is V2, usually zero • Differential equation of motion for the landing run is the same as that for takeoff: – Results are different For V 2 = 0, we have 29 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Balance Field Length • In order for a multi-engine commercial aircraft to takeoff from a runway, the runway must at least be as long as the Balanced Field Length (BFL). • BFL is determined by considering two options available to the pilot if an engine fails. – continue the takeoff on the remaining engines to clear the 50 ft (15m) obstacle and establish a takeoff distance – apply the brakes as soon as possible after the engine failure and to bring the aircraft to a halt in some distance. – If the two distances are the same, that distance is called the BFL Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences 30 Balanced Field Length 1. Assuming a speed (and distance along the runway) when that the engine failure occurs. 2. Continue the takeoff on the remaining engines and compute the additional distance for the vehicle to clear a 50 ft obstacle, determining the takeoff distance 3. Starting with the speed assumed in (1), assume two additional seconds go by and then • the engines are shut down, brakes applied and the ground roll to stop calculated. 31 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Balanced Field Length 4. Compare the distance in (2) with that in (3). • • • • If the distance to stop is shorter than the distance to fly over the 50 ft obstacle, increase the guess in step (1). If the distance to stop is shorter than that required to clear the 50 ft obstacle, then decrease the failure airspeed in step (1). Continue this procedure until the total takeoff distance and the total distance to stop are the same. This distance will be the balance field length, and the associated velocity found is called the critical engine failure speed 32 Faculty of Engineering & Technology ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Flight Test – Basics • All TO/L data recorded throughout entire flight test program • Tests devoted to TO/L done at: – Various gross weights – Clean and several “dirty” configurations – Standard to contaminated runway conditions • Must rely on statistical average of as many tests as possible – Greatly affected by factors that cannot be measured and properly accounted for • Typically delayed in flight test program b/c of amount of support and time required 33 Faculty ©M. S. of Ramaiah Engineering University & Technology of Applied Sciences ©M. S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences High-Speed Taxi Test • Conducted prior to any TO/L tests due to: – Always present possibility of a refused takeoff in those tests – Needed to determine parameters used in TO/L tests • Parameters: – Thrust transients – Drag – Rolling Cf – Ground Handling 787 High Speed Taxi Test: Reached 100 knots first test, VR actually about 150 knots 34 Faculty ©M.

Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences Rejected Takeoff Test • Rejected Takeoff Distance: The distance required for the vehicle to stop from full throttle at V1 speed for a specified altitude, weight, and configuration. • Also known as aborted or refusal takeoff 36 Faculty ©M.
