Describe the mission of the aircraft, i.e., what is it required to do in flight? Discuss how the performance characteristics of the aircraft – things like takeoff and landing distance, rate of climb, speed, maneuverability, and stability – allow it to meet its mission requirements, integrating and making specific and direct connections to related concepts of motion and forces presented in the Module 3 lesson.
