Common Aero Vehicle (CAV) is a high-L/D hypersonic vehicle gliding in the region of the Earth’s atmosphere with altitude of 20–100 km. CAV is sent into a sub-orbital trajectory by a launch vehicle. After separating from the launch vehicle, CAV reenters the atmosphere with initial Mach number of about 20. As the maximum L/D (L/Dmax) is up to 3, CAV can travel more than ten thousand kilometers, while its lateral maneuver range can also be up to thousands of kilometers. The flight of CAV can be roughly divided into entry and nosedive phases. In the entry phase, CAV manages the flight energy by performing proper lateral maneuvers, and eliminates the heading error by conducting several bank reversals.
