My favorite bit about the Space Shuttle's aerodynamics was how they simulated the Shuttle in flight training: Take a standard business jet. Put it in a powered dive to build speed. Then to properly simulate the aerodynamics, put out everything that increases drag (flaps, spoilers, landing gear,) then turn on thrust reversers and go full throttle. Yup, a business jet at full *REVERSE* throttle was considered a decent analogue for the Space Shuttle gliding home.
@HaibaneKuu
@HaibaneKuu 7 жыл бұрын
Business jets are designed for efficient aerodynamic flight, while Shuttle was designed to survive orbital reentry and land, though. On the other hand, reverse thrust at full throttle sounds like an overkill. What's your source for that? Also, if there wasn't a requirement for like 1000km cross-range maneuver, they would design it with even worse L/D ratio, wouldn't they? After all, for the Shuttle, slowing down is a bit more important than gliding efficiently. I'm wondering what's the L/D ratio of modern spaceplanes - X-37 and Dream Chaser.
@CMDKeenCZ
@CMDKeenCZ 7 жыл бұрын
I was also skeptical, but apparently it's true! NASA made four Shuttle Training Aircraft from Gulfstream jets, and they really did lower the gear and use reverse thrust in flight: "In order to match the descent rate and drag profile of the real Shuttle at 37,000 feet (11,300 m), the main landing gear was lowered (the nose gear stayed retracted due to wind load constraints) and engine thrust was reversed. Its flaps could deflect upwards to decrease lift as well as downwards to increase lift."

On the shuttle, the OMS thrusters are only used in space, because that's the only place they should ever be needed. During launch, the main engines usually provide enough propulsion, though for unusually heavy payloads, the OMS cam be burned slightly to provide some extra thrust to get into orbit. They can't burn all the OMS fuel to achieve orbit though, since a minimum amount must always be reserved for de-orbiting the shuttle - without that, re-entry would be impossible. However, the idea that hypergolic rockets can only be fired in space due to the toxicity of the propellants is completely untrue. The Titan rocket series used hypergolic fuels for both stages, usually nitrogen tetroxide (NTO) and unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine (UDMH). These weren't just used as nuclear missiles - NASA used Titan rocket boosters as launch vehicles for the Gemini program. Look at Gemini launch footage and see the long transparent flame with shock diamonds - rockets burning LOX and RP-1 look rather different. Also, remember that the propellants don't come out of the rocket nozzle unchanged: When hydrazine is burned with NTO, the nitrogen component (from both fuel and oxidizer) comes out as nitrogen gas, the same as makes up 79% of the atmosphere. What is left over is mainly oxygen and hydrogen, which burn to water vapour. Of course UDMH contains carbon, so when this is used, the carbon content is burned as well, ending up as mostly carbon monoxide and some carbon dioxide.

So can I take from all of this that it actually wasn't 'that' cheaty of him to use them? As in, the real shuttle could have used the OMS in the same way if it found itself a touch short of the runway?
@lloydevans2900
@lloydevans2900 6 жыл бұрын
It could, yes - provided it actually had any fuel remaining in the OMS system. A lot of it is used to de-orbit the shuttle for initiating re-entry, and I'm fairly sure they dump whatever is left after the de-orbit burn but before the shuttle descends through the lower atmosphere. This is to prevent ground crews having to deal with the residual toxic hydrazine and NTO until the time comes to refuel the shuttle for another launch. But in theory, if they didn't have to use any OMS fuel during launch or during the mission itself (other than de-orbiting of course), there would be some left over. So if they didn't dump it, the OMS engines could be fired during the glide portion of the flight. How much delta-V they would give the shuttle in atmospheric flight is another question though, since they aren't designed for that, and the drag experienced by the shuttle is rather large compared with most conventional aircraft.

There is a maneuver that is learned by all ship's captains called a "Man Overboard Maneuver" The idea is to turn the ship around and end up coming back on a reverse course that traces the original course. This brings the ship back exactly to where the man fell overboard. The maneuver is simply to turn the ship either port or starboard, make note of rudder angle, until the ship is veered 60° off course. Then turn the rudder the same amount as previously noted (same rate of turn) in the opposite direction. When the ship finishes the turn and is 180° from the original course it should be exactly in line with the original course. This could be used for your downwind turn to the runway: Fly directly over the runway and at a (well judged - considering altitude and vert speed) position past the runway, begin this maneuver. Baring any cross winds you should end the turn exactly lined up with the runway. I'm a 100 ton master and use this in man overboard drills all the time - it works. P.S. Scott: you did pretty darn good by the seat of your pants!

@3DPDK

Ah .... but .... aaah ... you're right! The shuttle is relying on kinetic energy and it is bleeding off as you turn (plus increasing wind resistance) where the ship, during it's turn, holds a (fairly) constant velocity. A helpful thing to know, probably covered in the manual, would be the shuttle's turn radius with a given degree of bank, in atmosphere. Like I said, you do pretty well with seat-of-the-pants flying. I wonder how often the pilots of the shuttle actually revert to gut feeling flying.
@KuraIthys
@KuraIthys 7 жыл бұрын
3DPDK Yes, as a student pilot that sounds like a questionable way to turn around. I'm sure it works great in a ship, but in an aircraft you have to consider crosswinds, insttument reliability and all kinds of other concerns. It can take a while just to work out what your ground track is for a given heading. Generally, we fly circuits to line up with the runway. For many approaches you would do a midfield entry, descend to circuit height after checking wind and traffic conditions, then continue the circuit, which involves flying reverse course parallel to the runway, then making two 45 degree turns to align to the runway. You know when to do the first turn by aligning the end of the runway about 45 degrees behind you (the wing can halp you identify the alignment). The benefit of this, aside from traffic safety is you have time to slow down, drop the flaps, and so on in a controlled way, but also you can see the runway for the entire approach. Of course, the shuttle is a glider, and in a glider your goal is pretty much always to get it right the first time, because you don't typically have the luxury of doing a go-around. Gliders are more likely to use straight-in approaches, but even if you chose not to, if you have the energy to do a 180 degree turn onto the runway, you almost certainly have the energy to do a standard approach circuit. If you can do one, but not the other, given approach and stall speed limits, plus the kind of turn radius an aircraft would have, then your approach was likely so badly screwed up that landing safely at all is probably a miracle if you can manage it.

@@KuraIthys Course the difference here between the ship and the plane is also the fact that the plane is attempting to manoeuvre in moving air relative to a fixed target located on the ground. In the case of the ship trying to retrieve a person who is also in the water relatively close by and thus is probably experiencing similar current drift to that the ship itself is experiencing, at least if you are out in the ocean. In littoral waters I imagine that it would be more complicated (Kinda like comparing trying to navigate a plane towards a balloon at 37,000 ft over the ocean or at 10,000 ft right over a 9,000 ft high mountain range fluids behave way more turbulently and less predictably near solid obstructions.

Hey Scott, the Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched on STS-93. The fuel problem occurred during main engine ignition. A gold pin fell out from an oxidizer post and hit the inside of the engine nozzle at high speed. This broke open a few of those little cooling tubes where cold LqH flows through to keep the nozzle cool. The flight computer responded to what it perceived as low thrust by increasing the oxidizer flow. This caused it to burn more fuel than expected. Inside the ET there is a sensor that, when uncovered by the fuel level dropping below it, triggers an emergency MECO to prevent the tank from running dry which it does to prevent the turbo pumps from exploding when there is suddenly no fuel or oxidizer running through them at all. The power and controller glitches were unrelated to the engine issue. Edit: The launch audio is worth listening to. Especially when they released the cause of the premature shutdown.

Shuttle commanders and pilots say that the Orbiter Vehicles were in fact very responsive to inputs. The Orbiter Vehicles flew exactly how they were designed to fly. the max G loading was officially 3 g, but engineers figured that the wings would stay on through 4 g of aero loading.

TAS = true airspeed (your speed relative to air) CAS = calibrated airspeed ("speed" deduced from the static air pressure in the pitot tube, which is basically the function of air pressure) GS = ground speed (speed relative to ground) Instruments usually display CAS. When landing using HUD, you usually should point the vector indicator to the point where you want to start flare, and when flaring you should 'move' vector to the end of the runway, by gradually pulling up.

apparently the space shuttle challenger had its death because of the SRB's decoupler. An O ring froze from the cold before launch at the launch site and the SRB broke off its decoupler, pitched over and hit the oxidizer tank at the top of the external tank. Which (as we know) blew up the shuttle. Their were some reports that when the shuttle blew up, 3 out of the 7 EVA mask oxygen tanks were turned on, which could mean 3 crew members on board survived the explosion but died on the impact when the cockpit hit the ground.

You should at least have known Orbiter well enough to manage the stop. "The superior airman uses his superior judgement to avoid having to exercise his superior airmanship." You're in the approach lights, as others have stated. However, looking at Google Maps, they all appear to be pretty much at ground level. So assuming the landing gear didn't collapse from running over the ten above-ground lighting control boxes, you get the Saved The Cargo bonus, minus major landing gear repairs. If the gear did collapse, you might still get the STC bonus, minus tiles, or even possibly total loss of the airframe. Plus likely salvage of engines, avionics, etc. Unless there was a fire, in which case _you're busted!_ At least you did stop short (barely) of the fence and gate that cross the ALS (gotta keep those cows off the runway, after all!). Hmmm, well, vertical view shows the nose cone is past it -- but likely above the fence, OK. Running through that fence would have been a likely total loss, unless no fire. However, I'll concede you have a great "seat of the pants." Unfortunately, it's not enough to make a superior airman! Question: were you using the split-rudder drag brake? Seem to recall that it was used pretty well continuously, and approaches planned by it, so that if they had a potetial undershoot, they could close it and make up. I didn't think the OMS was any kind of viable undershoot protection. I have to wonder, too, about the negative G pushover to point back toward Canaveral. I'd have thought a roll maneuver first to make the Gs positive. That would have required two roll maneuvers, but it's not like there wasn't plenty of time to do them... Points for being very entertaining, and a _great_ promo vid for Orbiter. Wish I had time to play with it.

One thing that may help, which I learned from my uncle, who was a pilot: When the near and far ends of the runway line up, you're on the extended centerline. If you start the turn just before that (depending on how much you need to turn), you can roll out of the turn on the centerline and aligned with the runway.

GS is Ground Speed. This is the speed a vehicle is travelling over the ground regardless of its altitude in or out of the atmosphere. TAS is, as mentioned, the vehicle's True Air Speed. This is the vehicle's GS plus or minus a headwind/tailwind/crosswind component. IAS is Indicated Air Speed. This is the speed of the air over the vehicle as measured by a device - usually a pitot tube. A pitot tube, simply put, measures the airflow moving toward it. It's affected by the air pressure around the vehicle. As a vehicle gains altitude, air pressure drops. The higher the altitude, the greater the difference between IAS and TAS. To save a pilot from calculating what their TAS should be at any given altitude, IAS gives them an instant indication regarding stall speeds and vMax (or maximum velocity through the air) to maintain flight (or as Scott would say to "Fly safe!").
@pilotavery
@pilotavery 6 жыл бұрын
GS is Ground Speed, IAS or KIAS is for indicated, that is the equivalent pressure. In 50% density, you need to double your speed, but IAS will be the same. TAS is true airspeed and indicates the speed of the molecules.
@barthoharmse112
@barthoharmse112 6 жыл бұрын
For KIAS is Calibrated Indicated, It's a bit more accurate but generally you dont use any of the IAS- and variants in aviation. You primarily use Ground Speed (which logically shows how quickly you go across the surface to track route progress) and then TAS you use for airflow around the plane basically, so you get the true air speed of air over your wings for stall speeds and so on

"TAS" = "True Air Speed". It's your Indicated Air Speed (IAS) adjusted for air density (pressure and humidity). Indicated Air Speed is the difference between static pressure and dynamic pressure (ram-air) at your current altitude. It's a more useful measure of speed when flying an aircraft, because the indicated air speed that your instruments "see" is the same as what your wings "see", and your wings will perform the same at the same indicated air speed at any air density.
