Aerodynamic Characteristics at Mach Numbers from 1.50 to 4.63 of a Variable-geometry Lifting Reentry Concept Employing Elevator and Body Base Flaps for Control


Book Description

An investigation of a lifting body configuration has been conducted in the Langley Unitary Plan wind tunnel through a Mach number range from 1.50 to 4.63 to determine the control effectiveness characteristics of body base flaps with and without anhedral tail elevator controls.
