AbstractThe influence of changing aircraft masses on different flight and mission performances is to be demonstrated. In order to make the effects clear, all parameters (engine, fuel quantity, external stores, etc.) but mass are kept unchanged. Some fundamentals of flight mechanics are shown and compared to results of computer simulations of several modern fighters.
