Complete 2-dimensional equations of motion governing re-entry vehicle considered as point mass in nonrotating exponential atmosphere, with lift and drag coefficients given arbitrarily as functions of velocity and altitude, are solved by using series expansions; for constant lift and drag, solution checks with exact numerical result, shows agreement with existing approximate solutions, and serves as estimate of order of accuracy for such solutions; for variable lift and drag result checks excellently with exact numerical solution.
