This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. The Flexible Aircraft Takeoff and Landing Analysis program, FATOLA, simulates aircraft take off and landing dynamics. FATOLA represents an airplane either as a rigid body with six degrees of freedom or as a flexible body with multiple degrees of freedom. The airframe flexibility is represented by the superposition of up to 20 free vibration modes on the rigid-body motions. The analysis includes maneuver logic and autopilots programed to control the aircraft during glide slope, flare, landing, and takeoff. The program is modular so that the performance of the aircraft in flight and during landing and ground maneuvers can be studied separately or incombination. The program is written in FORTRAN IV for batch execution. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Computer Software Management and Informantion Center, Suite 112 Barrow Hall, Athens, GA 30602.
