A series of wind tunnel tests from subsonic to hypersonic speeds were conducted to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a lifting-body type configuration for reentry vehicles and to accumulate knowledge and experience for the design of such vehicles. The tests were conducted at the NAL 2m x 2m Transonic Wind Tunnel for Mach numbers from 0.5 to 1.4 and at the NAL 1m x 1m Supersonic Wind Tunnel for numbers 1.4 to 4.0. For hypersonic speed of about Mach 10, the test was conducted at the 1.27m Hypersonic Wind Tunnel. Data were obtained for the baseline configuration and several derived configurations to ascertain the effect of configuration modifications. The effectiveness of control surfaces such as elevons and rudders was also investigated.
