Abstract
In order to complement previous dynamic Dolphin-flight transition optimalisation work, traverses through Konovalov 'a' type quadruple thermal models ... have been computed for a Nimbus 2 type sailplane.... Optimal transition piloting techniques are not significantly different from those found for the type ASW 15....
