APPLICATION OF OPTIMIZATION TO AIRCRAFT LANDING IN WIND SHEAR

Aircraft landing in wind shear is dangerous. Many accidents have happened and a lot of research work has been done in this area. Whether an aircraft has enough capability to land in wind shear safely or not is not very clear vet. Using the real worst-case wind shear model and the optimization technique, the optima! open loop controls ol two civil aircraft landing in wind shear are found and it can easily be seen thai, generally speaking, an aircraft has potentiality to land in wind shear satelv. The problem hear is how to help the pilot detect the wind shear on board in lime and control the aircraft correctly and timelv.
