Abstract
In this chapter, we consider selected aerothermodynamic design problems of winged re-entry vehicles (RV-W’s, Section 1.1). Of these vehicles the Space Shuttle Orbiter so far is the only operational vehicle. The other ones are conceptual studies or projects, which have reached different degrees of maturity.
RV-W’s are either launched vertically with the help of rockets or, in the case of TSTO systems, horizontally from a carrier vehicle, the lower stage of the system. Other launch modes have been considered, viz., horizontal launch froma sled. Return to the Earth surface in any case is made with an unpowered gliding flight, followed by the horizontal landing on a runway.
