A study was conducted to determine the flight characteristics and wing deployment transients for a variable geometry spacecraft concept having a hypersonic lift-to-drag ratio near 1.0, and employing fold-down wings. Unpowered flight conditions were considered throughout the study. The body of the spacecraft uses a trapezoidal cross section. The variable geometry wings, stowed in the sides of the vehicle, are deployed at transonic speeds.
