Volume 2 of the Operational Aerodynamic Data Book provides the primary reference work for all Launch Vehicle aerodynamic data appropriate to full-scale flight performance, stability, and control analyses. This volume is to be used along with Volume 1, which provides the mission description and capability, geometry, systems descriptions, and the equations for calculation and use of the aerodynamic data presented herein. Volume 2 contains the aerodynamic force and moment coefficients (both static and dynamic), control effectiveness, pertinent aerodynamic hinge moments, and aerodynamic data uncertainties. Wing and Vertical Tail root shear, bending and torsion are also presented. Data are provided throughout the launch speed-altitude flight regimes for the two stages of the launch configuration as well as data for both normal and abort separation of the various elements. The effects of aeroelastic deformation and reaction control flow field interactions are also provided. Data are predicted on the results of wind tunnel tests of various scale models of the mated vehicle and its elements and on flight test data extracted from the Space Transportation System Flight Test Program.
