The present consideration of optimal windshear-penetration flight trajectories in a vertical plane gives attention to the cases of either mere angle-of-attack control, with predetermined power setting, or both angle-of-attack and power setting controls. Inequality constraints are imposed on the angle-of-attack, the power setting, and their time derivatives. The performance index being minimized measures flight trajectory deviation from a nominal trajectory. Time is free, absolute path inclination at touchdown is specified, and touchdown velocity and distance are subject to upper and lower bounds. Three power settings are investigated.
