A trajectory analysis is presented which shows the advantage of lifting ascent and the penalties associated with increased wing mass due to increases in aerodynamic loading. The vehicle analyzed is made up of an orbiter, an expendable liquid fuel tank, and two solid rocket motors. Results of the tradeoff are illustrated in a graph of the total vehicle mass plotted against the trajectory constraint. Results indicate that even when structural mass penalties are considered lifting ascent provides a payload delivery.
