FLEXSTAB analysis

The wing differential pressure distributions of two vehicles are predicted using FLEXSTAB. Three space shuttle configurations were investigated. Comparisons were made of wind tunnel and analytical data for a selected range of angle of attack, angle of sideslip, and Mach number. A drone-type vehicle was investigated and comparisons were made between flight and analytical data of wing pressure distributions and static longitudinal stability derivatives.
