landing dynamics

Landing dynamics refer to how an object, like an aircraft or spacecraft, safely transitions from flight to a stable position on a surface. It involves controlling speed, angle, and descent rate to prevent damage or accidents. During landing, systems like brakes, landing gear, and sometimes parachutes or thrusters are used to absorb impact, slow the descent, and stabilize the vehicle. Proper management of landing dynamics ensures a smooth, safe touchdown by balancing speed reduction, alignment, and cushioning the impact against the surface.
