Take-off. Moving bodies with constant mass
Description
This program shows that a single mathematical model can describe the takeoff of a wide variety of aircraft, running the gamut from a single-engine trainer to the Concorde. Because the search for approximations is somewhat complex, graphical notation is employed to reveal the interaction and variation of the forces involved.
