Abstract

This paper, which was presented at a meeting of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ortung und Navigation held in Berlin on 24 April 1963, briefly discusses some of the factors which will affect navigation and control of supersonic transport aircraft. Attention is directed to the special problems of determining optimum flight path and estimating position and E.T.A. during three phases of the flight: acceleration, supersonic cruise and deceleration.
