Near-term plans to conduct hypersonic boundary-layer transition studies are discussed. Additionally, the correlations provide insight into the capabilities of these analytical tools for more complex vehicles in which design margins may be more stringent. These data indicated that the aerodynamic design approach for Pegasus was adequate and showed that acceptable margins were available. Pegasus flight 1 and 2 measurements were used to evaluate the results of several analytical aerodynamic design tools applied during the development of the vehicle as well as to develop hypersonic flight-test techniques. Proposed future research includes boundary-layer transition studies on the airplane-like first stage and also use of the complete Pegasus launch system to boost a research vehicle to hypersonic speeds. Two areas are discussed in the paper: previously obtained results from Pegasus flights 1 and 2, and plans for future programs. Hypersonic aeronautics research using the Pegasus air-launched space booster is described. ![]()
