Approximate closed-form solutions for various flight conditions are obtained to determine longitudinal and lateral range of glide re-entry vehicles with constant bank angle; results for equilibrium-glide vehicles with constant lift-to-drag ratio and small and slowly changing flight-path angle are presented in graphical form; other approximate closed-form solutions are obtained for glide re-entry at very small flight-path angle, near-constant-speed glide at high altitude, constant-deceleration glide at constant altitude, and constant-deceleration glide at fixed flight-path angle.
