Takeoff Perfromance Code

TAKEOFF2.FOR is a FORTRAN implementation of a modified approach proposed by Krenkel and Salzman to solve for aircraft takeoff. The original methodology solved the aircraft equations of motion parametrically, whereas this program solves through a time-step integration technique. The methodlology was also modified to calculate Balanced Field Length (BFL) for preliminary design purposes. Balanced field length is often, as here, defined as the distance required to make either a One Engine Inoperative (OEI) takeoff (including obstacle passage) or a braked stop when an engine fails at critical engine failure speed. Krenkel and Salzman assumed thrust vectoring
