Abstract

Footprint is an important index of flightmaneuverability for entry vehicle. In this paperthe footprint is separated into inner and outerboundaries which are generated based ondifferent methods. It involves algorithms forsolving maximum downrange, maximumcrossrange, and minimum trajectory problemswith the same initial and terminal conditions.Path constraints of heating rate, dynamicpressure and aerodynamic load are considered.Simulation is given and verifies the proposedapproach.
