facthunter Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Good presentation. Notice how sensitive the desired slope gets near the ground. World's biggest forced landing. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Critical glide slope, too slight and bounce off the atmosphere, would have to ruin your dinner plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The original programme was designated "Dyna Soar" as a reusable entry vehicle concept not using a parachute. They generally get to look a bit used after a flight due to the heating of the surfaces. Weighs about as much as a Boeing B 727 from memory. A good exercise in energy management which should be considered in all forms of flight. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
