Abstract
In this thesis, the algorithms for an A-7E aircraft performance
calculator were developed and then implemented on three
small data processors of different programming levels and storage
capabilities
.
The utility of data is a function of several variables including
accuracy and availability. The problem of retrieving
performance data from the Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures
Standardization (NATOPS) Manuals is significantly lessened
by the devices demonstrated in this investigation. Nine
performance chart groups, yielding data usually considered
necessary for flight, were reduced to a series of analytical
expressions. These analytical expressions were demonstrated to
reproduce NATOPS Manual data to a high degree of accuracy.
Implementation was demonstrated on a desk computer, a hand
held calculator and a microprocessor.
