Abstract:Inflatable aerodynamic decelerator, as a novel deceleration and recovery technology, has received attention due to its lightweight and freedom from the launch vehicle fairing size constraints for the space mission. Aimed at the aerodynamic characteristics of the inflatable aerodynamic decelerator, this work studied the effect of the cone angle on its drag and discussed the drag varied with the angle of attack under the different cone angles. The simulation showed that the drag was affected by the cone angle an… Show more
