The problem of the optimization and guidance of landing trajectories in the presence of a windshear is considered with emphasis on abort landing and penetration landing. For abort landing, optimal trajectories are determined by minimizing the peak value of the altitude drop. For penetration landing, optimal trajectories are determined by minimizing a performance index measuring the deviation of the altitude of the flight trajectory from that of the nominal trajectory, with touchdown path inclination, touchdown velocity tolerance, and touchdown distance tolerance specified.
