Keywords: genetic algorithm, forced landing, flight paths

In this research a trajectory optimisation was being undertaken using Genetic Algorithm to search for optimal landing manoeuvres for a forced landing of an airplane after engine failure using a simplified analytical model for the Beech Bonanza model E33A retractableundercarriage aircraft.
