An aircraft is model as a lumped mass m, with input from the runway through a landing gear that is model with a spring and damper system, as shown in Figure 2. Assume that the airplane travels at constant speed V over the runway of roughness h(x)=hotan(x). 01/11/2018 ME4712 Name: 4.1. Determine the equations of motion of the aircraft m using Newton's Law. Show all necessary free-body diagrams. 4.2. Discuss some of the limitation of this model.
