  • Abstract
    Minimum time trajectories of a vehicle subject only to normal accelerations are studied. Optimum control of both the normal acceleration and normal acceleration rate are considered. Extremals are exhibited for either type of control, and the optimum is found for normal acceleration control. Extremals with unusual forms which are very far from time optimum are exhibited for both problems.
