Abstract:
A survey of aerodynamic information required for a simulator for a glide reentry vehicle is presented. Various phases of the flight are considered: hypersonic reentry, hypersonic-supersonic glide, and supersonic-transonic-subsonic approach and landing. Accuracy requirements and origin of aerodynamic information are briefly discussed. Aerodynamic parameters are defines, and the dependence of aerodynamic coefficients on these parameters is outlined. Special emphasis is placed on a technique for generating functions of two or three independent variables and some sample calculations are presented.
