Abstract

The flight performance of any flying object (airplanes, spaceplanes, space vehicles, etc.) is primarily determined by their aerodynamic behavior. In general the mission of flight vehicles ascertain the configurational shape and with that the aerodynamics during flight. We therefore deal now with the discipline aerodynamics.
