1
A reusable rocket stage enters its descent phase at 80 km altitude with a velocity of 2.5 km/s. Considering a ballistic coefficient of 8000 kg/m² and a constant lift-to-drag ratio of 0.24 during the initial glide, which of the following maneuvers would minimize peak convective heat flux during atmospheric entry for this specific vehicle?
Question 1
2
In the context of hypersonic vehicle design using the Busemann biplane concept for wave drag cancellation, a key practical limitation preventing widespread adoption is:
Question 2
3
For a geostationary communications satellite employing electric propulsion for station-keeping, the thrust vector must be aligned to counteract dominant perturbation forces. Which perturbation requires the largest annual delta-V budget, and what is the typical primary direction of the required corrective thrust?
Question 3
4
When designing a composite cryogenic fuel tank for liquid hydrogen storage, a critical material selection issue for minimizing boil-off while maintaining structural integrity is:
Question 4
5
In a dual-mode ramjet/scramjet engine for a hypersonic vehicle accelerating from Mach 3 to Mach 8, the transition from subsonic to supersonic combustion (ramjet to scramjet mode) is primarily governed by:
