I'm wondering if anyone out there happens to know the lift and drag specifications of the space shuttle. I need the information for a lab experiment in my fluid mechanics class. Thanks in advance. Debbie

* If anyone out there >does< have acces to the shuttle's lift and drag specs, I'd appreciate if they'd also post them to me; somebody I know is working on a shuttle launch simulation program, and at the moment has to make fairly simple assumptions about aerodynamic characteristics. Most useful would be a citation for some source in the literature giving detailed listings of these specs as a function of Mach number, Reynold's number, angle of attack and sideslip, and variations with changes in flight-control configurations. (Hey, if they're detailed enough, maybe I can work them into MY filght simulator!) Thanks! -Kieran A. Carroll ...decvax!utzoo!kcarroll
