The optimization of aircraft altitude and flight path angle dynamics is addressed in a form suitable for on-line computation and control. The approach here is a direct extension of the work reported by Calise (1979), where singular perturbation methods were used to optimize position, energy and heading dynamics; it thus represents an optimal control solution that models all of the primary trajectory related dynamics. It is pointed out that the resulting algorithm can be regarded as a nonlinear feedback control law. The minimum time intercept of a fixed terminal point is used in setting the framework in which the analytical results are developed. The main theoretical result is that the dynamics, while not completely separable, can be approximated by singular perturbation methods when the control model includes relative position dynamics.
