The landing distance required for an aircraft after touchdown in calculated in this video on landing performance. The equations of motion for an aircraft when it is landing are derived and then the Newton's laws of motion are used to get expressions for landing distance. The effect of lift, drag, and rolling friction are considered. The use of spoilers and thrust reversal to lower the landing distance is discussed.
