STATIC AND CONTROL INVESTIGATION ON A 0.030-SCALE SPACE SHUTTLE ORBITER CONFIGURATION 140A/B MODEL IN THE AMES RESEARCH CENTER 11- BY 11-FOOT TRANSONIC WIND TUNNEL (OA53A) VOLUME Ⅱ of Ⅱ

摘要

This report presents data obtained from a wind tunnel test of an 0.030-scale model of the Rockwell International Configuration 140A/B Space Shuttle Vehicle Orbiter in the Ames Research Center 11- by 11-Foot Transonic Wind Tunnel. This test was conducted from 19 November to 27 November 1973, in 160 test hours.nThis part (part A) of test series 0A53 was conducted at Mach numbers of 0.6, 0.8, 0.9, 1.05, and 1.20, and at Reynolds numbers from 1.8 x 106 /ft to 6.5 x 106/ft.nThe objective of this test was to establish and verify longitudinal and lateral-directional aerodynamic performance, stability, and control characteristics for the Configuration 140A/B SSV Orbiter.
