Abstract:The development of a fully reusable vertical-takeoff-and-vertical-landing (VTVL) rocket is indispensable for reducing space transportation costs. However, there are many technical issues associated with such vehicles, such as turnover maneuvers during return flight where the pitching moment plays a key role. It is known that aerodynamic characteristics can be controlled by installing aerodynamic devices, but the relationship between the aerodynamic characteristics and the flowfields has not been explored.
