With full color illustrations. This TR is actually a textbook on
atmospheric entry for several classes at AFIT. It teaches from an
analytical perspective, with finding closed-form solutions being
the preferred approach. The over-arching goal is to instill and
understand how families of solutions behave as well as the general
trends, trade-offs, and the nature of atmospheric entry before
picking point designs to study in detail. By thoroughly
understanding the classic analytic analyses first, we can better
use the computer to solve the hard problems. The book's approach is
to use easily visualized variables to solve the analytical problems
first and keep them (more-or-less) consistent as we move to the
computer. This is a back to the basics approach for a new
generation of students who've become more comfortable with
numerical solutions than analytical ones. The pages are loaded with
equations because the details of many of the derivations are
included. This book pulls together many classical analyses and
presents them in a consistent notation for the first time. It
provides a convenient starting point for an analytical
understanding of atmospheric entry, with plenty of references to
those original works. It ties together results that were originally
published years apart by different authors. And, peppered
throughout, you'll find some new approaches and results.
