General condition is derived which must be satisfied by aircraft or space vehicle to reach predetermined point in minimum time; thrust, lift and drag can depend, in arbitrary manner, on instantaneous position and velocity coordinates (or Mach number) and angle of attack between directions of thrust and velocity; to make solution applicable to space vehicles and aircraft, cases of spherical and flat Earth are treated separately.
