dc.description.abstractBusemann's concept of optimum altitude for rectilinear coasting flight has been extended to flight in a horizontal plane. The reachable domain of a vehicle in coasting flight in a horizontal plane, starting from an initial velocity, is obtained. It is shown that the area covered first increases with the altitude and then decreases to zero when the ceiling is reached. In particular, there exists an altitude for maximum longitudinal range and another altitude for maximum lateral range. Optimum variations in the lift coefficient and the bank angle to reach the boundary of the footprint are discussed.en_US
