What is Optimal cruise trajectories for supersonic airplanes about?

Equations are derived for maximizing range for specified initial and final values of mass and altitude. Constant-velocity flight is assumed, and normal acceleration is neglected. The problem is solved by using the maximum principle. Optimal trajectories are obtained and uniqueness is demonstrated. Results are obtained for a supersonic airplane. Curves are presented which can be used to obtain the optimal trajectory and maximum range for a range of initial and final mass and altitude. The optimal range is compared to the range obtained by using the standard cruise trajectory profile (consisting of a Breguet cruise plus maximum and minimum-thrust connecting segments) and to the range obtained at constant-altitude cruise.--P.
