Modeling Flight, the Role of Dynamically Scaled Free Flight Models in Support of NASA’s Aerospace Program (ePub eBook)

The major portion of the book focuses on the applications of the techniques to generic configurations for general research, as well as to specific aircraft and spacecraft configurations. Important lessons learned are also reviewed. A brief review of the special dynamic force tests that usually accompany free-flight tests is provided, and the document concludes with the author's perspective on potential future opportunities and requirements in free-flight model testing.

Scientists, engineers, pilots, spacecraft developers, and others interested in spacecraft would enjoy this publication.
