Abstract :
In the near future, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft will be flying a wide envelope of complex trajectories in the terminal area to relieve airport congestion. The digital letdown computer automatically guides a VTOL aircraft along a preselected vertical profile to the terminal area.
