Abstract: We study the dynamics and control of an airplane in air transportation between two airports. The dynamic models are presented for the airplane schedule. The dynamics of an airplane is described by the piecewise map and delayed map models. The characteristics of the nonlinear maps are studied analytically and numerically. The airplane displays the complex motion in the unstable region. The motion of the airplane depends on the quantity of goods, the control method, and the delay. It is shown that the control delay has an important effect on the motion.
