An analysis of the static and dynamic characteristics of a decoupled landing entry vehicle

A theoretical analysis of the static and dynamic characteristics of an entry vehicle utilizing the decoupled landing concept has been conducted. A hypersonic arbitrary-body aerodynamic computer program was used to determine the aerodynamics of the basic body. Three theories were used and compared wi...
