RESULTS OF DYNAMIC STABILITY TESTS CONDUCTED ON A.012 SCALE MODEL MODIFIED 089 B SHUTTLE 0RBITER IN THE AEDC-VKF TUNNEL 3 AT A MACH NUMBER OF 8.0 (LA42)

摘要

Experimental aerodynamic investigations were conducted during June and July 1974 on a .012 scale model of a NASA/Langley modified version of the Rockwell 089B Space Shuttle Orbiter. The modification consisted of using the 139 B orbiter nose forward of station 500 on the 089 B fuselage. Using the forced oscillation test technique, dynamic stability derivatives were measured in the pitch, yaw and roll planes at a Mach number of 8 over an angle of attack range from -4° to 28°. Plotted and tabulated results are presented herein.
