    News Space Plane Eridanus, final development steps

    News Space Plane Eridanus, final development steps

    Heya! Okay I just want to ninja-add my two cents here! I THINK that during launch the following problems occur with a winged vehicle: Wings produce lift, and thus drag. You don't want drag, so you HAVE to reduce or avoid lift at all. Avoiding lift would be the best option, but it can't be...

Of course this is one of the mejor problems in Orbiter, you don't have a team of scientists calculating the whole mission on the blackboard before you even...

    Flight Question Moon - Earth: Transfer & direct entry

    The thing is, I can do TLI, TEI with earth orbit insertion, go to ISS, and re-entry from LEO is no longer a problem (capsules and winged alike, without thrust), so I really want to understand the direct entry thing :) it's my personal nightmare, and my personal challenge.. but I understand that...

    Flight Question Moon - Earth: Transfer & direct entry

    Ahoy! This is my first post, and I have several questions regarding direct entry apollo-style, which I am completely and utterly unable to do without missing terribly. I've tried and tried, and of course the problem is the lack of understanding the basic physics behind the most important...
