Abstract

With the aim of enhancing the simulation of flow processes and dynamics of aircraft motion, the analysis of the appropriate equations and search for new similarity criteria are carried out. New relations are obtained for the equations of aircraft motion allowing for experiments with overweight models under certain conditions.
