Supersonic control effectiveness for full and partial span elevon configurations on a 0.0165 scale model space shuttle orbiter tested in the LaRC unitary plan wind tunnel (LA49)
Abstract
A wind tunnel test is reported on an early version of the space shuttle orbiter (designated 089B-139) 0.0165 scale model to systematically determine both longitudinal and lateral control effectiveness associated with various combinations of inboard, outboard, and full span wing trailing edge controls. The test Mach umbers were 2.5 and 4.63 over an angle of attack range from -4 deg to 42 deg at 0 deg sideslip.
