TY - BOOK AU - Hankey,W. TI - Re-entry aerodynamics T2 - Aiaa education SN - 0930403339 (hardcover) PY - 1988/// CY - [S.l.] PB - AIAA N2 - Hankey addresses the kinetic theory of gases and the prediction of vehicle trajectories during re-entry, including a description of the Earth's atmosphere. He discusses the fundamentals of hypersonic aerodynamics as they are used in estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of re-entry configurations, re-entry heat transfer for both lifting (space shuttle) and ballistic ("Apollo) configurations, thermal protection systems, and the application of high-temperature materials in design UR - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0930403339/chopaconline-20 ER -
