Description:
Experimental longitudinal and lateral-directional aerodynamic characteristics were obtained for a generic transatmospheric vehicle concept referred to as the Langley Test Technique Demonstrator. The baseline configuration, without engine modules, was longitudinally and directionally unstable over the hypersonic Mach number range of the investigation and exhibited untrimmed (L/D)max levels between 2.6 and 2.8. Adding various engine modules to the baseline configuration produced mainly, degradations in lift-to-drag ratio. In general, longitudinal aerodynamic coefficients predicted with an engineering code referred to as Aerodynamic Preliminary Analysis System (APAS) were in qualitative, and often quantitative agreement with measurement.
