.... Design/methodology/approach The study concerned determining the optimal trajectory of the initial phase of the transport aircraft climb aided in the phase of acceleration by the system using the magnetic levitation phenomenon. The simplified algorithm of the Ritz–Galerkin method was used in this work...

...Andrzej Robert Majka Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to analyze changes in the selected characteristics of an aircraft aided by a ground-based system using magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) to support safe take-off. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis of the mass characteristics...
