Closed form solution to problem of three-dimensional trajectory; two flight rules are assumed; one, velocity law, and other acceleration law; these two laws enable end conditions to be specified and required incidence and bank laws obtained in analytical form; method should be useful at preliminary design stage when ascertaining guidance requirements and also help with prediction of optimal trajectories by iterative methods.
