The Impact of Atmospheric Fluctuations on Optimal Boost Glide Hypersonic Vehicle Dynamics

Abstract

A project under the management of Air Force Research Laboratory has begun development of a model for use in hypersonic vehicle development and application. One area of interest is the perturbation of optimal vehicle behavior based on atmospheric fluctuations how the performance of the vehicle changes with respect to hot, cold and standard day conditions.
