Title: $Effects of Booster Transition Section and Rudder Deflection on the Low-Angle-of-Attack Static Stability of a Winged Reentry Vehicle at Mach Numbers of 10.8 and 17.8 in Helium
Abstract: An investigation has been carried out to obtain aerodynamic stability and control data on a model of a winged reentry vehicle at Mach numbers of 10.8 and 17.8 in helium. The effects of a booster transition section on the static stability were obtained at angles of attack from -5 deg to 15 deg and at angles of sideslip from -5 deg to 10 deg at an angle of attack of 0 deg. Directional control data were also obtained at an angle of attack of 0 deg for sideslip angles from -5 deg to 10 deg. No detailed analysis of the data has been made.
