A complete nonlinear control law is derived for guiding an aircraft in minimum time from an arbitrary initial position and heading to a prescribed terminal position and heading in the horizontal plane. The solution is obtained with the aid of the maximum principle, and is implemented by constructing a digital-computer program for the resulting switching logic.
