Experimental aerodynamic investigations of the configuration 4 space shuttle orbiter were conducted in the 14-inch trisonic wind tunnel during November and December 1973. Elevon, aileron, bodyflap, speedbrake, rudder effectiveness, and effects of ventral fins were investigated at angles of attack from -10 deg to 40 deg, angles of sideslip from -10 deg to +10 deg, and Mach numbers from 0.6 to 4.96. Resulting six-component static stability data and associated test information are presented.
