The Control and Stability of Hypersonic Aircraft: An Analysis of the Criteria associated with Hypersonic Flight above the Stratosphere

Abstract

THERE have been various suggestions that the return of man from his trips of exploration into space may best be effected by glider. The design of such an unusual form of aircraft will present many unusual and difficult problems, and here we shall merely be content to remark upon those which fall into the category of stability and control.
