RESEARCH ON HYPERSONIC STABILITY PROBLEMS

摘要

This final report summarizes the in-house research work on hypersonic stability problems, applicable to reentry dynamics. During the period 1963 to 1974 research contributions were made in the following areas: (1) Static and dynamic stability in pitch; (2) hypersonic roll damping; (3) asymmetric nose effects; (4) non linear aerodynamics; (5) stability coefficients in nonplanar motions. This in-house research effort was terminated as of 1 July 1974.
