Summary:The problem of forming the altitude-speed profile of the flight of civil and military transport aircraft (AC) at the cruising stage and cost optimization is solved using a dynamic model of the movement of the center of mass in the vertical plane. The model takes into account the change in the mass of the AC and the systematic component of the wind speed. The aerodynamic characteristics of the AC and its weight, as well as the altitude-speed characteristics and throttle characteristics of the engines, are close to those of the modern typical medium-haul AC. For the given flight scenarios, the optimal control laws are found and the influence of disturbing factors on them in the form of wind speed and deviation of air temperature from the standard value is assessed. The conditions under which it is expedient to switch to large values of the Mach number and flight level are formulated.
