Spaceplane Coordinates
Abstract
Detailed configuration data on seven spaceplanes that have been flown or the subject of wind tunnel tests is provided in tables and drawings. Flight characteristics of several of these vehicles are described based on the methods of calculation given in Chapter 8. This material is not readily available in one collection elsewhere.
