Virtual Flight - RITE (Rapid Integration Test Environment) is a NASA program devoted to the development of rapid prototyping technology for the design of aerospace vehicles. In the fourth simulation entry in this series of projects, a Crew Transfer Vehicle concept design developed at NASA-Ames Research Center was simulated. This concept vehicle, known as CTV8, is a delta-wing design with sharp leading edges to improve the hypersonic lift-to-drag ratio (L/D). Control surfaces included ailerons and elevators on the trailing edge of the wing, a rudder on the trailing edge of the vertical tail, and upper and lower body flaps (on the aft upper and lower edges of the fuselage) for speed control.
