Description

Report presenting a brief study utilizing pilots to fly a simulator of some longitudinal stability and control problems of an assumed aircraft capable of flights to altitudes essentially out of the atmosphere. The results show that more than the inherent longitudinal damping of the aircraft is necessary to affect a safe flight, particularly during entry into the atmosphere. Results regarding some preliminary considerations, entry, and control in ascent and the ballistics trajectory are provided.
