    Investigation of sonic boom for the Space Shuttle: High cross-range orbiter (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Recent studies of a proposed low cross-range straight-wing space shuttle orbiter have shown that the sonic boom created during reentry may be objectionable, particularly at low supersonic Mach number. Because of this, additional tests have been conducted to determine the sonic-boom overpressure for a blended wing-body shape proposed for use as a high cross-range shuttle orbiter. Two mission profiles, in which a constant angle of attack was held during the supersonic portion of the flight, were studied. In one case the angle of attack was 60 degrees; in the other 25 degrees. The sonic-boom pressure signatures were measured in a wind tunnel and used to estimate overpressures for both missions. A technique for alleviating the boom is indicated.

    Investigation of sonic boom for the Space Shuttle: Low cross-range orbiter (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: It is desired that the Space Shuttle Orbiter be capable of landing at airports equipped to handle present-day jet transports. Since the majority of such airports are located near heavily populated areas, an investigation has been undertaken to determine whether or not the sonic boom generated during reentry of Space Shuttle Orbiters is potentially a serious problem. The investigation was concerned with the low cross-range orbiter and reentry concept proposed by Faget of the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC). This report describes the approach used and presents the results obtained to date.
