Supersonic dynamic stability derivatives of a modified 089B shuttle orbiter

An experimental test program was conducted to measure the dynamic stability derivatives of a modified 089B shuttle orbiter. Supersonic forced oscillation tests were conducted in the Langley Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel over a range of Mach numbers from 1.6 to 4.63 for angles of attack up to 30 deg. The data were measured at the model resonant frequency with pitch and yaw amplitudes of 1 deg and a roll amplitude of 2.5 deg.
