THE EFFECT OF VARIATIONS IN RUNWAY CONDITIONS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BOEING 747-100 AIRCRAFT IN THE TAKE-OFF PHASE
Main Article Content
Abstract
On its operation, aircraft experience a series of different flight phases. In general, the flight phases of an airplane start from take-off, climb, cruise, descent, and landing. Among these flight phases, the take-off phase is one of the most critical flight phases. In this phase, the aircraft is closer to the ground and in a more vulnerable configuration, so the flight crew will experience excessive workload compared to other phases of flight. For this reason, this flight phase needs more attention. One of the important parameters to be considered in the take-off phase is the take-off distance which is defined as the distance traveled by the aircraft from the time it starts acceleration until it reaches hscreen. This research aims to investigate the effect of variations in runway conditions when an aircraft takes off, by taking the Boeing 747-100 aircraft as a case study. The analysis was carried out numerically to evaluate the characteristics of the aircraft's take-off distance with variations in runway slope & height, headwind, and engine thrust percentage. The results showed that the slope and height of the runway were in line with the greater the required take-off distance. Conversely, the greater the headwind and engine thrust percentage, the shorter the take-off distance required.
