Abstract
An aircraft's performance and maneuvering capabilities in steady flight conditions are usually analyzed considering the steady states of the rigid-body equations of motion. A systematic way of computation of the set of all attainable steady states for a general class of helical trajectories is presented. The proposed reconstruction of attainable equilibrium states and their local stability maps provides a comprehensive and consistent representation of the aircraft flight and maneuvering envelopes. The numerical procedure is outlined and computational examples of attainable equilibrium sets in the form of two-dimensional cross sections of steady-state maneuver parameters are presented for three different aircraft models.
