Abstract

In the paper "Energy Exchange Between a Sailplane and moving Air Masses..." by W. Gorisch, presented at the XV OSTIV Congress, the principles of optimal choice of airspeed and normal accelerations for a non-stationary dolphin-mode flight were given. In addition, the author's paper "Some Problems of the Dolphin-Mode Flight Technique" presented at the XVI 0STIV Congress concerned, in part, the same problem.  This problem is further studied in this paper. Conclusions concerning optinization of non-stationary dolphin-mode flight can be made perceptable to the pilots when this sinple model of dynanjc energy exchange is used.
