Subsonic and transonic dynamic stability derivatives of a modified 089B shuttle orbiter

An experimental test program has been conducted to measure the dynamic stability derivatives of a modified 089B shuttle orbiter. Subsonic and transonic forced oscillation tests were conducted in the Langley 8 foot TPT tunnel over a Mach number range from 0.3 to 1.2 for angles of attack up to 22 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.
