Abstract:

This paper presents the results of an effort to quantify the response times for the dynamic modes of a winged reusable rocket plane. The vehicle used in this effort was XCOR Aerospaces Lynx, which is being developed for the suborbital space tourism and microgravity payload market. The effort utilized CART3D and Missile Datcom to estimate the static and dynamic aerodynamics of the Lynx. These inputs were then feed into the A matrix of the state space version of the equations of motion.
