Force tests were conducted at Mach 20.3 to determine the effect of several forebody, wing-fillet, and canard modifications on the hypersonic trim capability of a 139B Space Shuttle Orbiter model. Force and moment data were obtained at angles of attack of 10 deg to 54 deg at zero sideslip angle and at a Reynolds number of 1,900,000 based on body length. The results indicated that wing-fillet and canard modifications would increase the allowable forward trimmed center-of-gravity capability by as much as 3.0 percent of the body length.
