Due to its versatility and low cost, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles hasbeen rapidly spreading in recent years, in applications ranging form militaryoperations, to land mapping, rescuing of lost people, aiding of naturaldisaster victims and many others. To properly design and operate such avehicle, it is necessary to know its flight mechanics in the various stages ofthe flight. Despite the fact that the physic behind the analysis of anaircraft's flight mechanics is well known and purely based on ClassicalMechanics, the large quantity of input and output data involved favors the useof a computational toll. This work presents the development of a toolbox calledAPT (Aircraft Performance Toolbox), able to make preliminary aircraft flightmechanics calculations regarding its performance. To achieve this goal, anumber of Matlab scripts were created to perform the calculations, and agraphical interface was created to unify them and to allow the end-user toperform the analysis in a clear and intuitive way. To illustrate the potentialof the toolbox, we use APT to in the analysis of an UAV meant to participate inthe SAE Brasil AeroDesign competition of the year of 2014.
