N2 - Experimental studies on aerodynamic characteristics of RLV are conducted. The fundamental configurations of RLV are categorized in lifting body and wing body. The aerodynamic characteristics of those configurations in subsonic, transonic and supersonic regions are measured and discussed. Also, an experimental study on the improvement of aerodynamic characteristics of space transportation system by active control has been conducted by using lateral blowing in subsonic flow. The results show active control with lateral blowing can be useful for the improvement of aerodynamic characteristics of RLV in subsonic flow.
