Flight characteristics and wing deployment transients for a variable geometry logistics spacecraft concept having a hypersonic lift-drag ratio near 2.0, and employing switch-blade wings for deployment at high subsonic speeds have been determined. These characteristics are based on detailed static wind tunnel results and estimated weight and inertial characteristics of a 9-man logistics lifting entry vehicle. In all instances, unpowered flight is assumed. The present volume is the second of a four volume series encompassing hypersonic lift-drag ratio vehicles from 1 to 3, and including several forms of deployable lifting surfaces. For Volumes 1 and 3, see N70-25699 and N72-15779 respectively. (Author)
