Optimal trajectory and heat load analysis of different shape lifting reentry vehicles for medium range application

The objective of the paper is to compute the optimal burn-out conditions and control requirements that would result in maximum down-range/cross-range performance of a waverider type hypersonic boost-glide (HBG) vehicle within the medium and intermediate ranges, and compare its performance with the p...
