An investigation has been made at a Mach number of 2.01 to determine the effects of a flared rudder on the aerodynamic characteristics of an ogee-wing space-shuttle orbiter configuration. Also investigated were the effects of an upper-aft fuselage fairing for the orbital maneuvering system, elevon deflections, and rudder deflection on the aerodynamic characteristics of the configuration.
