AERODYNAMIC STUDY OF HL-20 DESIGN MODIFICATION

  • ABSTRACT

    The goal was to carry out in-depth research and study quotients that could fetch a quick accessible database for a multitude of space vehicles. This was followed by narrowing down to a single vehicle and coming up with a conceptualised design iteration that could fulfil analysis criterions and ultimately prove to be efficient over the conventional design.

    FULL REPORT

    Flying Wings and Lifting Body configurations are quite often viewed as unconventional aircraft concepts. On the contrary, these configurations are more popular in the designing of modern reentry vehicles. In a broad sense, the Flying Wing configuration can be defined as a vehicle that accommodates all of its body within the structure frame of a wing profile. On a similar note, a Lifting Body can be defined as a vehicle that is aerodynamically shaped to generate lift performance similar to that of a wing. Lifting Body configurations are usually characterized with small wing sections or no wings in their design.
