Aerospace vehicle is defined and such vehicles are classified into groups of aerodynamic configurations, namely, nonlifting pointed bodies of revolution, nonlifting blunt bodies of revolution, and lifting bodies of one kind or another; engineering methods of estimating pressure distribution and wave drag for re-entry vehicles of various nonlifting and lifting configurations are outlined and problems of lift, drag, deceleration, entry heat transfer and dynamic stability discussed; general principles of aerodynamic design of aerospace vehicle.
