Analysis of X-15 Landing Approach and Flare Characteristics Determined
from the First 30 Flights
Matranga, Gene J.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TN-D-1057; H-221 , 19610701; Jul. 1961
The approach and flare maneuvers for the first 30 flights of the X-15
airplane and the various control problems encountered are discussed.
The results afford a relatively good cross section of landing
conditions that might be experienced with future glide vehicles having
low lift-drag ratios. Flight-derived drag data show that preflight
predictions based on wind-tunnel tests were, in general, somewhat
higher than the values measured in flight. Depending on configuration,
the peak lift-drag ratios from flight varied from 3.5 to 4.5 as
compared with a predicted range of from 3.0 to 4.2. By employing
overhead, spiral-type patterns beginning at altitudes as high as
40,000 feet, the pilots were consistently able to touch down
within about +/-1,000 feet of a designated point. A typical flare was
initiated at a 'comfortable' altitude of about 800 feet and an
indicated airspeed of approximately 300 knots., which allowed a margin
of excess speed. The flap and gear were extended when the flare was
essentially completed, and an average touchdown was accomplished
at a speed of about 185 knots indicated airspeed, an angle of attack
of about 7 deg, and a rate of descent of about 4 feet per second. In
general, the approach and landing characteristics were predicted with
good accuracy in extensive preflight simulations. F-104 airplanes
which simulated the X-15 landing characteristics were particularly
valuable for pilot training.

Preliminary Base Pressures Obtained from the X-15 Airplane at Mach
Numbers from 1.1 to 3.2
Saltzman, Edwin J.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TN-D-1056; H-215 , 19610801; Aug. 1961
Base pressure measurements have been made on the fuselage, 10
deg.-wedge vertical fin, and side fairing of the X-15 airplane. Data
are presented for Mach numbers between 1.1 and 3.2 for both powered
and unpowered flight. Comparisons are made with data from
small-scale-model tests, semiempirical estimates, and theory. The
results of this preliminary study show that operation of the interim
rocket engines (propellant flow rate approximately 70 lb/sec) reduces
the base drag of the X-15 by 25 to 35 percent throughout the test Mach
number range. Values of base drag coefficient for the side fairing and
fuselage obtained from X-15 wind-tunnel models were adequate for
predicting the overall full-scale performance of the test airplane.
The leading-edge sweep of the upper movable vertical fin was not an
important factor affecting the fin base pressure. The power-off base
pressure coefficients of the upper movable vertical fin (a 10 deg.
wedge with chord-to-thickness ratio of 5.5 and semispan-to-thickness
ratio of 3.2) are in general agreement with the small-scale
blunt-trailing-edge-wing data of several investigators and with
two-dimensional theory.

Analysis of a Pilot Airplane Lateral Instability Experienced with the
X-15 Airplane
Taylor, Lawrence W., Jr.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TN-D-1059; H-225 , 19611101; Nov. 1961
An analysis is made of a lateral-control problem in which the pilot,
through normal application of control, induces divergent oscillations
in bank angle. The problem, first encountered on the X-15 simulator
and later confirmed in flight, is explained through the use of
root-locus plots of the pilot-airplane combination in which the
pilot is represented by a human transfer function. A parameter is
developed which is useful for predicting the lateral-control problem
and for showing the effect of the principal aerodynamic and inertial
parameters. Also, means of determining regions in the flight envelope
where the pilot-airplane would be susceptible to lateral instability
are developed.

Flight experience with shock impingement and interference heating on
the X-15-2 research airplane
Watts, Joe D.

Severe structural melting damage due to complex shock impingement and
interference effects on local aerodynamic heating was experienced on a
flight of the X-15-2 research airplane to a maximum Mach number of
6.7. Measured flight temperature data and observed structural damage
resulting from shock impingement and interference heating on the
airplane and its ablative coating were analyzed in the light of
hypersonic wind-tunnel results. The best approximations of the flight
results were made by increasing the undisturbed pylon leading-edge
heat-transfer coefficient by a factor of 9 and the undisturbed
heat-transfer coefficient in the two interference zones by a factor of
7. The calculated effect of increased heat transfer due to
interference n radiation-equilibrium temperature is presented for
selected hypersonic cruise conditions.

Heat-transfer measurements obtained on the X-15 airplane including
correlations with wind-tunnel results

NASA-TM-X-1705; NAS 1.15:X-1705 , 19690301; Mar 1, 1969
Heat transfer measurements were obtained on the X-15 airplane from two
flights under quasi-steady conditions at a freestream Mach number of
5.1 and an angle of attack of 2.0 degrees, and a freestream Mach
number of 4.98 and an angle of attack of 16.3 degrees. These
measurements were made at corresponding freestream Reynolds numbers
of 2.45 x 10(exp 6) and 1.31 x 10(exp 6) per foot. Experimental heat
transfer coefficients derived from temperatures obtained from 200
recording thermocouples on the skin of the airplane are tabulated.
Correlations with wind tunnel results show that the wind tunnel data
are in fair to good agreement with the flight data obtained on the
wing, ventral tail, and vertical tail at low angles of attack but
are generally in poor agreement with high angle of attack data and the
low angle of attack fuselage data.

Flight-measured heat transfer and skin friction at a Mach number of
5.25 and at low wall temperatures

NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA-TM-X-1921; H-579; NAS 1.15:X-1921 , 19691101; Nov 1, 1969
Turbulent skin friction and heat transfer coefficients were measured
simultaneously on a test panel installed on the sharp leading edge
upper vertical tail of the X-15 airplane at wall to recovery
temperature ratios of 0.218 to 0.333 and at a nominal free stream
Reynolds number of 1.54 x 10(exp 6) per foot. The data were obtained
from one flight at a nominal free stream Mach number of 5.25. Reynolds
analogy factors were derived from skin friction and heat transfer
measurements. The measured data are compared with values predicted by
various theories.

Flight-test results from two total temperature probes for air-data
measurements up to 2014 K (3625 R)

An experimental temperature probe package containing a fluidic
oscillator temperature probe and a shielded thermocouple temperature
probe was tested during several X-15 flights. The X-15 flights
provided greatly varying test conditions, including a wide range of
rapidly changing total temperatures and Mach nubers which extended
from subsonic to hypersonic speeds. Within restricted ranges of
free-stream Mach number, free-stream unit weight flow, and local
stagnation pressure, both probes yielded ramp outputs of temperature
parallel to ramp inputs of free-stream total temperature. Within these
ranges both probes were used to determine total temperature in the
Mach 6 temperature environment. Because ambient temperature was
known, both probes were used to estimate velocity and Mach number.

Hypersonics Before the Shuttle: A Concise History of the X-15 Research
Airplane
Jenkins, Dennis R.
NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI)
NASA/SP-2000-4518; NAS 1.21:4518; LC-00-038683 , 20000601; June 2000
It is a beginning. Over forty-five years have elapsed since the X-15
was conceived; 40 since it first flew. And 31 since the program ended.
Although it is usually heralded as the most productive flight research
program ever undertaken, no serious history has been assembled to
capture its design, development, operations, and lessons. This
monograph is the first step towards that history. Not that a great
deal not previously been written about the X-15, because it has. But
most of it has been limited to specific aspects of the program;
pilot's stories, experiments. lessons-learned, etc. But with the
exception of Robert S. Houston's history published by the Wright Air
Development Center in 1958, and later included in the Air Force
History Office's Hypersonic Revolution, no one has attempted to tell
the entire story. And the WADC history is taken entirely from the Air
Force perspective, with small mention of the other contributors.
