A study has been conducted on a conical wing-body transatmospheric vehicle at Mach numbers from 1.5 to 4.5. The objective of the study was to evaluate the application of a Euler code to a wing-body configuration across the supersonic Mach number range. The baseline wing-body fuselage consisted of a circular 5-deg half-angle conical forebody, a cylindrical midbody, and a 9-deg truncated conical boattail. The wing was a 4-percent-thick diamond airfoil wing of aspect ratio 1. Results show that the Euler code accurately predicted the lift, drag, and pitching moment coefficients as a function of Mach number and angle of attack. The longitudinal stability characteristics were predicted as a function of Mach number. The code also predicted the changes in lift, drag, and pitching moment for forward and rearward shift of the wing from the nominal position.
