AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HYPER-ENVIRONMENTAL TEST SYSTEM DATA RECOVERY VEHICLE FOR MACH NUMBERS 0.52 TO 0.96.
Abstract
The report presents the results of a series of tests in Convair's high-speed wind tunnel to evaluate the stability of the HETS 609A recovery vehicle in the transonic regime. The tests were run with two nose configurations at Mach numbers 0.52, 0.61, 0.67, 0.82, and 0.96. Both configurations were sufficiently stable to permit parachute deployment down to Mach 0.6.
