Spacecraft and stage-geometry effects on the hypersonic characteristics of a horizontal- take-off reusable booster

Clark, L. R., Pierpont, P. K · 1963 · 5 pictures

A 1963 NASA technical report by L. R. Clark and P. K. Pierpont on wind-tunnel tests of a horizontal-take-off reusable booster and its spacecraft stage, written for aerospace engineers at Langley. The plates pair high-contrast studio photographs of white wind-tunnel models floating on black grounds with hard-line profile and plan drawings carrying dimension arrows and leader-line labels, useful for silhouettes, technical diagram vocabulary, and stark figure-on-black compositions.
