Space shuttle: Basic subsonic static aerodynamic characteristics for Grumman H-33 orbiter configuration (M equals 0.17)

Results of an experimental aerodynamic investigation of the H-33 space orbiter are presented. The investigation was undertaken to determine static aerodynamic characteristics of the orbiter at a Mach number of 0.17. These data were determined by employing a 1/25 scale model of the orbiter for pitch and yaw variations of -4 degrees to 24 degrees to 15 degrees, respectively. Investigations were conducted in the 7 - by - 10 foot wind tunnel.
