Surface pressure and inviscid flow field properties of the North American Rockwell delta-wing orbiter for nominal Mach number of 8, volume 2The results are presented of a wind tunnel test program to determine surface pressures and flow field properties on the space shuttle orbiter configuration. The tests were conducted in September 1971. Data were obtained at a nominal Mach number of 8 and a free stream unit Reynolds number of 3.7 million per foot. Angle of attack was varied from 10 to 50 deg in 10-deg increments.
