Aerodynamic characteristics of a 60 degree swept delta-wing space shuttle orbiter at Mach numbers of 2.50, 3.90, and 4.60

E. B. Graves

Abstract

Wind tunnel tests were performed to determine the static aerodynamic characteristics of a model of a 60 degree swept delta wing space shuttle orbiter. Some control effectiveness tests were included. The tests were conducted in a unitary plan wind tunnel at Mach numbers of 2.50, 3.90, and 4.60.
