Potential benefits and limitations of using automatic feedback control systems to provide artificial stabilization, rather than depending on inherent aerodynamic stability are discussed. A conventionally designed Space Shuttle vehicle is used as a baseline. Study results are based on parametric evaluations of configuration changes and control logic concepts suitable for unstable vehicles. Study results show that destabilizing the vehicle by moving the wing forward and reducing vertical tail area reduces the weight of a typical fly-back Space Shuttle booster configuration by 5430 pounds with little or no degradation in control performance. This is accomplished by modifying the aerodynamic controls, but without increasing control surface rate capability or the amount of reaction control fuel carried.
