In this analysis, the flight of a lifting vehicle to orbit speed is considered by studying four basic powered aerodynamic maneuvers: pull up, climb at a constant path angle, leveling off, and cruising at constant altitude. Solutions for trajectory parameters are presented for each phase of flight and an example is considered. Although two basic forms of further research are suggested for application to Aerospaceplane planning, such suggestions would have impact on lifting reentry technology as well. (Author)
