RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS ON A O.O1O-SCALE 140A/B CONFIGURATION SPACE SHUTTLE VEHICLE ORBITER MODEL 72-0 IN THE NASA/LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER CONTINUOUS FLOW HYPERSONIC TUNNEL (OA90)

摘要

This report documents data obtained during a wind tunnel test of a 0.010-scale 140A/B configuration SSV Orbiter 1n the NASA/Langley Research Center Continuous Flow Hypersonic Tunnel. The test was conducted beginning 4 March and ending 6 March 1974 for a total of 24 occupancy hours. ATI test runs were conducted at a Mach number of 10.3 and at Reynolds numbers of 0.65, 1.0 and 1.33 million per foot. Only the complete 140A/B was tested with various eleven, speed brake and bodyflap settlings at angles of attack from 12 to 37 degrees at 0 and -5 decrees of beta, and from 0 to -9 degrees of beta at 20 and 30 decrees angle of attack.
