Summary:

This video presents simulations and animations with different lift/drag coefficients and thrust values of the simplified fugoid dynamics model whose derivation was discussed in the video [fugoid1EN]. The detail of the Matlab code to run these examples is presented in the video [fugsimcodEN].

The chosen examples are: gliding down (no thrust), level flight, climb, and unstable climb, that occurs if thrust rises above a certain value (see video [fugeqlinEN] for details).

Use of these equations is made in, for instance, the derivation of the phugoid aircraft flight mode, see video [fugoid1EN].
