Résumé :	This book comes in time to satisfy the increasing need for a comprehensive summary of atmospheric flight trajectory optimization studies performed in the last two decades. The first chapter presents the methodology of optimal control theory- including the possible existence of singular arcs- to be applied in the sequel to the highly nonlinear equations of motions in atmospheric flight mechanics. Following an introductory description of aerodynamic and powerplant models, a compact vector formulation is presented. As a next step, in the core of the book, the major segments of aircraft missions are analysed in detail. A special chapter is devoted to "energy-state" models , a frequently used technique of approximation in performance assessment of modern airplanes. The last part deals with atmospheric re-entry, completing the wide spectrum of trajectory optimization problems.
