The theory underlying the use of rigid-model experimental data in FLEXSTAB aeroelasticity calculations is summarized. A description is given of the aerodynamic and structural models used in the calculation of Space Shuttle Orbiter aeroelasticity properties during the re-entry phase. Experience gained with the use of pressure, nonlinear force and moment, and area-ratio correction methods in the Orbiter application is described and typical program output data are included. The inability of the program to correctly estimate differential control surface pressures and to accept external corrections for these terms is shown to be a major limitation in the Orbiter application.
