Twenty years since breaking a boundary: SpaceShipOne
2024年6月21日 · SpaceShipOne was a unique design –a three-place, high-altitude space plane, designed for sub-orbital flights to 100 km altitude. The ship converts (via pneumatic-actuated feather) to a stable, high-drag shape for atmospheric entry. This “care-free” configuration allowed a “hands-off” re-entry and greatly reduced aero/thermal loads.
