An Aerodynamic Preliminary Analysis System (APAS) calibration report - Space Shuttle OrbiterThe Space Shuttle Orbiter is modelled and analyzed using the Aerodynamic Preliminary Analysis System (APAS). APAS predictions of Orbiter longitudinal and lateral-directional aerodynamics are compared to Shuttle Orbiter Aerodynamic Design Data Book (ADDB) values from Mach numbers of 0.3 to 20. Agreement between APAS results and the ADDB was good, especially in the case of the longitudinal aerodynamic coefficients. The results of this study establish a sense of confidence in the use of the APAS for conceptual and preliminary studies.
