X-Planes: Boeing X-40

The X-40 is described almost everywhere as a subscale model of the X-37, and by the test that matters it was not a scale model at all. It weighed about half what dynamic similarity required, so its trajectory could not transfer to the full-scale vehicle even in principle. What transferred was the software. This is the forty-first article in the X-Planes series, following the X-1, the X-2, the X-3, the X-4, the X-5, the X-6, the X-7, the X-8, the X-9, the X-10, the X-11, the X-12, the X-13, the X-14, the X-15, the X-16, the X-17, the X-18, the X-19, the X-20, the X-21, the X-22, the X-23, the X-24, the X-25, the X-26, the X-27, the X-28, the X-29, the X-30, the X-31, the X-32, the X-33, the X-34, the X-35, the X-36, the X-37, the X-38, and the X-39.

The X-40A is the first vehicle in the series built to test a program rather than an aerodynamic idea. The X-1 measured transonic drag rise. The X-15 flew hypersonically and survived the heating. The X-40A was dropped from a helicopter eight times so that an autopilot could practise landing [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle], and the question it answers is whether that is worth doing.

The article immediately before this one concerned a designation that was never assigned. This one concerns a designation that was assigned twice, first to an operational concept and then to the test article that outlived it [Boeing X-37 and X-40], and the second assignment explains why the public record disagrees with itself about how big the vehicle was.

The Research Question

The binding unknown was not aerodynamic and it was not thermal. It was whether an unmanned vehicle could be trusted to land itself.

The Space Maneuver Vehicle concept of the middle 1990s asked for a small reusable spacecraft that would be launched by an expendable booster or by the Shuttle, remain on orbit for up to a year, and then return under fully automatic control to a horizontal landing on a designated runway [Boeing X-37 and X-40]. Every part of that is hard. Only the last part could be rehearsed cheaply, because the last part happens inside the atmosphere at speeds an ordinary aircraft reaches.

The precedent for an orbital vehicle landing itself belonged to somebody else. The Soviet Buran flew an uncrewed orbital mission on 15 November 1988 and landed itself on a runway at Baikonur, the first spaceplane to fly uncrewed and land in fully automatic mode [Buran]. On the American Space Shuttle a crew was aboard and took over manual control once the orbiter was subsonic [Space Shuttle]. So the United States entered the Space Maneuver Vehicle programme with no domestic flight experience of the thing the vehicle was for.

The design work had nonetheless been done, and thoroughly. Terminal control and automatic landing of unpowered shuttle vehicles was studied from 1970 [Osder 1970], the automatic flare and decrab problem was worked in detail [Cockayne and Rusnak 1971], a full navigation, guidance and control concept was flight-tested [Edwards et al. 1975], and the resulting shuttle automatic landing system was documented [Tsikalas and Dyer 1982]. What was missing was not theory but a vehicle willing to land itself, and the X-40A was cheap enough to be that vehicle.

The precedent for the method is also American and also well documented. The Shuttle Orbiter Approach and Landing Test programme of 1977 carried an orbiter aloft on a carrier aircraft and released it to glide to a runway [Fullerton 1975] [Oglesby 1975], and its final evaluation report [Approach and Landing Test final evaluation 1978] and subsequent analyses [Ashkenas et al. 1982] are the model for what a drop-and-glide campaign is expected to produce. The X-40A ran the same play at 2,600 pounds and without a crew [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle]. For all five free flights the orbiter was ballasted to approximately 150,000 pounds [Approach and Landing Test final evaluation 1978], so for vehicle weight $W$ the weight ratio is

\[\frac{W_{\text{X-40A}}}{W_{\text{orbiter}}} = \frac{2{,}600}{150{,}000} = 0.0173 < \frac{1}{50} \tag{1}\]

and the X-40A weighed under a fiftieth of the vehicle whose method it borrowed.

The keystone question is therefore one of transfer, the same question this series asked of a proven bound and of a wind tunnel. If a smaller vehicle is dropped from a helicopter and lands itself, what has been learned about a larger vehicle returning from orbit?

The answer depends entirely on what similarity holds between the two, and similarity for a free-flight model is a stronger requirement than geometric resemblance. The sizing section derives what it demands and then measures the X-40A against it. The vehicle fails the test on mass by a factor of two, which sounds like a criticism and is instead the article’s central observation, because it explains what the programme bought.

Programme Origin

The vehicle was ordered before the designation existed and the designation was reassigned underneath it [Boeing X-37 and X-40].

In October 1996 Boeing received a contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Military Space Plane Technology office to build a technology demonstrator and test vehicle for the Space Maneuver Vehicle. The first article under that programme was the Integrated Technology Test Bed, an unpowered vehicle at about ninety percent of the size of the operational concept [Boeing X-37 and X-40].

The X-40A designation was allocated in 1997 to the full Space Maneuver Vehicle and was soon reassigned to the test bed instead. The operational vehicle, which would have been the X-40B, is not recorded as built, and its programme is presumed absorbed by the X-37A [Boeing X-37 and X-40]. The number therefore ended up on the only article the programme produced. The designation immediately preceding it in this series met a different fate, since a number was reserved and never assigned at all.

Boeing built it at Phantom Works in Seal Beach, California, and the cost is the most striking figure in the programme [Boeing X-40A]. Fabrication and construction came to approximately one million dollars [X-40 Space Maneuver Vehicle]. That is not a research aircraft budget, for a vehicle that carried a full autonomous guidance, navigation and control system and landed itself eight times.

The sponsoring arrangement spanned two laboratories and two states. The Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico led, with the Air Vehicles Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio collaborating [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle]. The programme manager at Boeing Phantom Works, John Fuller, described the first flight’s purpose in one sentence, being to validate low-speed handling qualities and demonstrate autonomous approach and landing capability [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle].

The operational concept it served explains the vehicle’s proportions. The Space Maneuver Vehicle was to turn around in seventy-two hours or less between missions, remain on station for up to a year, and carry satellite deployment, surveillance and logistics payloads with aircraft-like operability [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle]. A vehicle designed for aircraft-like turnaround is designed around its ground handling, and a runway landing is the ground handling.

Sizing From First Principles

What Similarity a Free-Flight Model Must Hold

A scale model that flies is governed by two dimensionless numbers and it cannot match both. The practice has a long institutional history and a canonical account of it, which records the role of dynamically scaled free-flight models across decades of aerospace programmes and states the scaling requirements this section derives [Chambers 2010].

Let $L$ denote a characteristic length of the vehicle, $V$ its speed, $g$ the acceleration due to gravity, $\rho$ the air density and $\mu$ the dynamic viscosity of air. The Froude number compares inertial force to gravitational force and governs any motion in which weight and trajectory curvature both matter, which is every part of an approach and landing.

\[\mathrm{Fr} = \frac{V^{2}}{gL} \tag{2}\]

The Reynolds number compares inertial force to viscous force and governs the behaviour of the boundary layer, and therefore the lift and drag coefficients the vehicle achieves.

\[\mathrm{Re} = \frac{\rho V L}{\mu} \tag{3}\]

Let $\lambda$ be the geometric scale ratio of model to full-scale vehicle. Similarity requires that the two vehicles share a value of the parameter, and for the Froude number the requirement reads

\[\frac{V_{m}^{2}}{g L_{m}} = \frac{V_{f}^{2}}{g L_{f}} \tag{4}\]

which fixes the speed ratio, because $g$ is the same for both and $V^{2}$ must therefore scale as $L$.

\[\frac{V_{m}}{V_{f}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \tag{5}\]

Time follows immediately, since a length divided by a speed is a time, and this relation makes a subscale free-flight test interpretable at all.

\[\frac{t_{m}}{t_{f}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \tag{6}\]

Angular rates therefore go up rather than down, the first result with a consequence for the flight control system.

\[\frac{\omega_{m}}{\omega_{f}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda}} \tag{7}\]

Substituting the Froude-matched speed into the Reynolds number gives the mismatch that cannot be avoided, since the model flies in the same air as the full-scale vehicle and $\rho$ and $\mu$ therefore cancel.

\[\frac{\mathrm{Re}_{m}}{\mathrm{Re}_{f}} = \frac{V_{m} L_{m}}{V_{f} L_{f}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \cdot \lambda \tag{8}\] \[\frac{\mathrm{Re}_{m}}{\mathrm{Re}_{f}} = \lambda^{3/2} \tag{9}\]

The Mach number takes care of itself here, and the reason matters. Both vehicles fly the approach subsonically, so compressibility is a small correction for each and the Froude-matched speed reduction moves the model further from the transonic regime rather than toward it.

\[\frac{\mathrm{Ma}_{m}}{\mathrm{Ma}_{f}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \tag{10}\]

The dynamic pressure scales linearly, and it governs the aerodynamic loads and, through them, the structural design case.

\[\frac{\bar{q}_{m}}{\bar{q}_{f}} = \frac{\rho V_{m}^{2}}{\rho V_{f}^{2}} = \lambda \tag{11}\]

And the mass condition is usually forgotten. Froude similarity requires the model to have the same relative density as the vehicle, so its weight must scale as the cube of the length ratio.

\[\frac{W_{m}}{W_{f}} = \lambda^{3} \tag{12}\]

Equivalently, and more usefully for an aircraft, the wing loading must scale linearly, since weight goes as $\lambda^{3}$ and reference area as $\lambda^{2}$.

\[\frac{(W/S)_{m}}{(W/S)_{f}} = \lambda \tag{13}\]

The rotational condition follows from the same requirement and governs the autopilot. A moment of inertia is a mass times the square of a length, so under mass similarity it scales as the fifth power of the length ratio.

\[\frac{I_{m}}{I_{f}} = \frac{m_{m}}{m_{f}} \left(\frac{L_{m}}{L_{f}}\right)^{2} = \lambda^{3} \lambda^{2} = \lambda^{5} \tag{14}\]

The standard single parameter that expresses all of this at once is the relative density, which compares the vehicle’s mass to the mass of the air in a volume defined by its dimensions. Let $m$ be the mass, $S$ the reference area and $l$ a reference length.

\[\mu = \frac{m}{\rho S l} \tag{15}\]

Dynamic similarity of a free-flight model holds when the relative densities match, and the free-flight testing literature usually writes the requirement in this form [Chambers 2010].

\[\mu_{m} = \mu_{f} \tag{16}\]

The Scale Ratio Is Disputed and the Dispute Is Resolvable

Four different scale figures circulate for the same vehicle and they are not all about the same comparison. Boeing’s press release calls the X-40A a ninety percent scale vehicle [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle]. The space agency calls it an eighty percent subscale version of the X-37 [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle]. A contemporaneous report of the second free flight calls it eighty-five percent [X-40A second free flight successful]. A reference encyclopaedia hedges at eighty to ninety percent [Boeing X-40].

The published dimensions settle it. The X-40A is 22 feet long with a 12 foot span [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle], and the X-37B is 29 feet 3 inches long with a span of 14 feet 11 inches [Boeing X-37].

\[\lambda_{\text{length}} = \frac{6.71}{8.92} = 0.752 \tag{17}\] \[\lambda_{\text{span}} = \frac{3.66}{4.55} = 0.804 \tag{18}\]

Taking the mean of the two gives $\lambda = 0.778$, and the check on that value is the reciprocal, since the sources state the scale-up in the other direction.

\[\frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{0.778} = 1.285 \tag{19}\]

against the “about 120 percent” that the sources give for the X-37 relative to the X-40A [Boeing X-37]. The agreement is adequate at eight points and the ninety percent figure is not, since it would require a reciprocal of 111 percent.

The ninety percent figure is correct about a vehicle that was never built under its own designation. The test bed was ninety percent of the Space Maneuver Vehicle, the operational concept [Boeing X-37 and X-40], and the X-37 that everybody now compares it to was a later and larger vehicle. A ratio quoted without its denominator has caused a twelve point disagreement in the literature about the best documented parameter of the aircraft.

The Mass Condition Fails by a Factor of Two

This is the result the article turns on. At $\lambda = 0.778$, Froude similarity requires a model weight of

\[W_{m} = W_{f} \lambda^{3} = 11{,}000 \times 0.778^{3} = 5{,}186 \ \text{lb} \tag{20}\]

for the X-37B’s published maximum takeoff weight of 11,000 lb [Boeing X-37], against a published X-40A weight of about 2,600 lb [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle]. The vehicle was 50 percent of its dynamically similar mass.

Read the other way, the mass ratio implies a scale ratio of its own, nowhere near the geometric one.

\[\lambda_{\text{mass}} = \left(\frac{2{,}600}{11{,}000}\right)^{1/3} = 0.618 \tag{21}\]

A geometric ratio of 0.778 against a mass-implied ratio of 0.618 is not a scale model. It is a vehicle of approximately the right shape and substantially the wrong density.

The wing loading condition fails in the same proportion, and the arithmetic behind that is short. Taking the estimated reference area of 100 square feet for the X-40A and scaling it by $\lambda^{2}$ for the X-37 gives 165 square feet, so the two wing loadings are

\[\left(\frac{W}{S}\right)_{m} = \frac{2{,}600}{100} = 26.0 \ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \qquad \left(\frac{W}{S}\right)_{f} = \frac{11{,}000}{165} = 66.6 \ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{22}\] \[\frac{(W/S)_{m}}{(W/S)_{f}} = 0.391 \quad \text{against a required} \quad \lambda = 0.778 \tag{23}\]

Since speed goes as the square root of wing loading at a given lift coefficient, the consequence is a vehicle flying substantially slower than similarity demands.

\[\frac{V_{m}}{V_{f}} = \sqrt{0.391} = 0.625 \quad \text{against a required} \quad \sqrt{\lambda} = 0.882 \tag{24}\] \[\frac{0.625}{0.882} = 0.708 \tag{25}\]

The model therefore flew at about 71 percent of its dynamically similar speed.

The relative density gives the same answer in the parameter the free-flight literature uses. With the mass in slugs, the estimated areas above and the vehicle lengths as reference lengths,

\[\mu_{m} = \frac{80.8}{(0.001869)(100)(22.0)} = 19.7 \qquad \mu_{f} = \frac{341.9}{(0.001869)(165)(29.25)} = 37.9 \tag{26}\] \[\frac{\mu_{m}}{\mu_{f}} = 0.519 \quad \text{against a required} \quad 1.000 \tag{27}\]

Two independent formulations land on the same factor of two, and no internal check on the finding is stronger, since the wing loading route and the relative density route share only the published masses.

The shortfall was not an oversight and could not have been fixed. The X-40A carried neither propulsion nor a thermal protection system [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle], and as an atmospheric test bed it had no use for a payload or for orbital subsystems. Those absent systems are the mass the full-scale vehicle would carry, and ballasting a one million dollar test article up to 5,186 lb, the weight that the relation $W_{m} = W_{f} \lambda^{3}$ above requires, in order to preserve a similarity nobody intended to exploit would have been a strange use of the money.

Reynolds Number Does Less Than Expected

The usual objection to subscale free flight barely applies here, because the X-40A was not very sub. At $\lambda = 0.778$ the Reynolds ratio is

\[\frac{\mathrm{Re}_{m}}{\mathrm{Re}_{f}} = 0.778^{3/2} = 0.686 \tag{28}\]

A boundary layer at 69 percent of full-scale Reynolds number is a mild extrapolation, far milder than the one or two orders of magnitude that a conventional dynamically scaled drop model accepts. The comparison is available in a single well-documented case. A contemporaneous programme flew a 22 percent dynamically scaled drop model of the F/A-18E/F [Croom et al. 2000], and at that ratio the same relation gives

\[\frac{\mathrm{Re}_{m}}{\mathrm{Re}_{f}} = 0.22^{3/2} = 0.103 \tag{29}\]

or about a tenth of full scale. The X-40A sat at 69 percent where a conventional drop model sits near 10, and on that measure it was barely a subscale article at all.

The absolute value matters as much as the ratio and sits comfortably high. Taking the density at 8,000 feet as 0.001869 slug per cubic foot and the dynamic viscosity as $3.58 \times 10^{-7}$ slug per foot second, values that follow from the defining relations of the 1976 standard atmosphere [U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976], the Reynolds number on the 22 foot length at 428 feet per second is

\[\mathrm{Re} = \frac{(0.001869)(428)(22.0)}{3.58 \times 10^{-7}} = 4.92 \times 10^{7} \tag{30}\]

A Reynolds number near fifty million is far above any transition-sensitive regime, so a 31 percent shortfall against the full-scale vehicle moves the flow along a part of the curve where little changes. The Mach number confirms the same benign picture. With the speed of sound at 8,000 feet equal to 1,085 feet per second in the same standard [U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976],

\[\mathrm{Ma} = \frac{428}{1{,}085} = 0.394 \tag{31}\]

and that lies well below the drag rise, so neither of the two dimensionless numbers the model could not match was doing much harm. The sensitivity across the disputed scale figures is small, and the table below sets it out in full.

$\lambda$	$\mathrm{Re}$ ratio	time and speed ratio	angular rate ratio
0.750	0.650	0.866	1.155
0.778	0.686	0.882	1.134
0.800	0.716	0.894	1.118
0.850	0.784	0.922	1.085
0.900	0.854	0.949	1.054

Nothing in that table changes a conclusion. Whichever figure is adopted, the aerodynamic extrapolation is modest and the mass failure is total, and the article’s finding is insensitive to the one parameter the sources argue about.

What the Flight Data Show

The 2001 flights are documented well enough to recover the flight path angle, which no source states. On 12 April 2001 the vehicle was released at 15,050 feet and reached 428 feet per second [X-40A second free flight successful]. The space agency describes the 2001 releases as made from 15,000 feet and followed by an autonomously controlled descent of 75 seconds [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle], and it gives no duration for the 12 April flight in particular. The calculation below therefore pairs that flight’s altitude and speed with the series duration. The release at 8:45 and the stop at 8:47 recorded for 12 April [X-40A second free flight successful] are stated to the minute, so they place descent and rollout together somewhere between one and three minutes, a window consistent with a 75 second descent that does not test it.

Mean sink rate is the released altitude divided by the duration.

\[\dot{h} = \frac{15{,}050}{75} = 200.7 \ \text{ft/s} \tag{32}\]

The sink rate and the speed along the flight path are related by the flight path angle, and through that relation the two published figures combine into a third.

\[\dot{h} = V \sin\gamma \tag{33}\]

The flight path angle follows directly.

\[\gamma = \arcsin\left(\frac{200.7}{428}\right) = 28.0^{\circ} \tag{34}\]

In a steady glide the weight is balanced by lift across the path and by drag along it, and the ratio follows from that balance.

\[L = W \cos\gamma \qquad D = W \sin\gamma \tag{35}\]

The effective lift to drag ratio is therefore the cotangent of the flight path angle, a number that describes what kind of approach this was.

\[\frac{L}{D} = \frac{W\cos\gamma}{W\sin\gamma} = \cot\gamma \tag{36}\] \[\left(\frac{L}{D}\right)_{\text{eff}} = \cot 28.0^{\circ} = 1.88 \tag{37}\]

An effective ratio of 1.88 is a steep energy-management descent and not a best-glide profile, and the comparison is drawn from measured flight data. A survey of flight-determined subsonic lift and drag for seven lifting-body and wing-body reentry configurations puts the achievable maximum for this class in the range of roughly 3 to 4 [Saltzman et al. 1999], with later assessments refining the blunt-based cases [Saltzman et al. 2002] [Saltzman et al. 2007]. The X-40A was therefore flown at about half its attainable ratio, the profile of a vehicle managing energy toward a fixed point rather than trying to stay airborne.

The difficulty of that regime is the oldest result in this article’s literature. Approach and landing at lift to drag ratios of 3 to 4 was investigated in flight in 1959 using a delta-wing aeroplane [Matranga and Menard 1959], and the companion study extended the range down to 2 [Matranga and Armstrong 1959]. Later work flew the problem on a transport [Kock et al. 1972], and the effect of the ratio on pilot rating was quantified for a lifting-body landing task [Jackson et al. 1991] [Jackson et al. 1993a]. Forty years of work established that this regime is flyable and unforgiving, and an autonomous attempt at it should be read in that context.

Ground range in a steady glide is the height multiplied by the lift to drag ratio, the force balance above rewritten for distance.

\[R = h \cot\gamma = h \left(\frac{L}{D}\right) \tag{38}\] \[R = \frac{15{,}050}{\tan 28.0^{\circ}} = 28{,}353 \ \text{ft} = 4.67 \ \text{nautical miles} \tag{39}\]

The energy accounting shows how little of the height became speed. The specific energy available at release, taking the release from a hover so that the initial kinetic term is negligible, is

\[\frac{E}{m} = g h = (32.174)(15{,}050) = 484{,}219 \ \text{ft}^{2}/\text{s}^{2} \tag{40}\]

against a kinetic term at 428 feet per second of

\[\frac{V^{2}}{2} = \frac{428^{2}}{2} = 91{,}592 \ \text{ft}^{2}/\text{s}^{2} \tag{41}\]

so 18.9 percent of the available energy was carried as speed and 81.1 percent was spent against drag. Put another way, a body falling freely from that height with no drag at all would arrive at

\[V = \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2(32.174)(15{,}050)} = 984 \ \text{ft/s} \tag{42}\]

more than twice the speed the vehicle reached, so the descent was dominated by drag and was not an acceleration.

One number does transfer, and no other in this section does. The time scaling relation converts the observed descent into its full-scale equivalent, because time is the one quantity whose scaling depends on geometry alone.

\[t_{f} = \frac{t_{m}}{\sqrt{\lambda}} = \frac{75}{\sqrt{0.778}} = 85.0 \ \text{s} \tag{43}\]

A 75 second rehearsal stands in for an 85 second event, and that comparison is legitimate in a way that the speeds and the trajectory are not, because it uses only the length ratio and not the mass.

The 1998 flight was steeper still. It was released at about 9,000 feet [Boeing X-37 and X-40] some 2.5 miles from the end of the runway [Boeing X-40], which at 5,280 feet to the mile is a straight-line ratio of

\[\frac{2.5 \times 5{,}280}{9{,}000} = \frac{13{,}200}{9{,}000} = 1.47 \tag{44}\]

and the figure falls if the release altitude of about 10,000 feet given by the Air Force museum is used [Boeing X-40A].

\[\frac{13{,}200}{10{,}000} = 1.32 \tag{45}\]

Both are below the 1.88 of the 2001 flights, and the article does not resolve which release altitude is correct.

The Reference Area Is Not Published and Can Be Bounded

No source gives a wing or planform area for the X-40A, which blocks a direct wing loading figure. The steady glide supplies a bound instead. The lift balancing the weight component perpendicular to the flight path is

\[L = W \cos\gamma = 2{,}600 \cos 28.0^{\circ} = 2{,}297 \ \text{lb} \tag{46}\]

and the same lift is produced aerodynamically, in the equation that converts a force into a geometry.

\[L = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho V^{2} S C_{L} \tag{47}\]

Taking the density at a mean altitude of 8,000 feet as 0.001869 slug per cubic foot [U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976], the dynamic pressure at 428 feet per second is

\[\bar{q} = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho V^{2} = \tfrac{1}{2}(0.001869)(428)^{2} = 171.2 \ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{48}\]

which fixes the product of reference area and lift coefficient without fixing either.

\[S C_{L} = \frac{2{,}297}{171.2} = 13.42 \ \text{ft}^{2} \tag{49}\]

A planform area near 100 square feet is geometrically plausible for a 22 by 12 foot vehicle, and it implies a lift coefficient of 0.134 and a wing loading of 26 pounds per square foot. Both are stated as an estimate and neither is a measurement. The useful part is the product. It is measured, and it shows the vehicle flying at a low lift coefficient in a fast steep descent rather than at the high angle of attack a low-speed lifting body approach would suggest.

Dependent Systems

Aerodynamics and Shape

The shape was inherited forward rather than derived. The X-40A airframe was scaled up by about 120 percent to become the X-37 [Boeing X-37], which makes this the rare case in the series where the subscale article came first and set the outer mould line of its successor. The X-38 borrowed the X-24A shape backwards in time, as the X-38 article records, and this programme ran the borrowing in the other direction.

The configuration is a lifting body with a fat body, short wings and a V-tail [Boeing X-40]. The class had been flown and characterised for three decades before the X-40A, through the manned lifting body programme [Thompson 1966] [Gentry et al. 1966] [Layton and McTigue 1969], its status reviews [McTigue 1970] and its stability and control derivatives [Kempel et al. 1970]. The X-40A inherited a well-understood shape class, and that inheritance partly explains why a one million dollar article could be flown with confidence on its first attempt. The aspect ratio is the property that explains the flight data. With a span of 12 feet and an estimated planform of 100 square feet,

\[AR = \frac{b^{2}}{S} = \frac{12^{2}}{100} = 1.44 \tag{50}\]

An aspect ratio near 1.4 sets an induced drag penalty that no amount of cleanliness overcomes, since the induced drag coefficient varies inversely with aspect ratio for a given lift coefficient.

\[C_{D_{i}} = \frac{C_{L}^{2}}{\pi e AR} \tag{51}\]

At the estimated lift coefficient of 0.134 and an Oswald efficiency of 0.6, the induced contribution is

\[C_{D_{i}} = \frac{0.134^{2}}{\pi (0.6)(1.44)} = 0.0066 \tag{52}\]

a value small in absolute terms and small relative to the base and profile drag of a blunt lifting body, and that is the point. At low lift coefficient this shape is dominated by pressure drag rather than induced drag, so its glide ratio is poor for reasons that have nothing to do with the wing.

Guidance, Navigation and Control

The vehicle existed to test this system, and its results are the only ones that transfer. The 2001 flight series was described by the space agency as an in-flight evaluation of guidance, navigation and control software for autonomous flight controls [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle], and the vehicle was fitted with navigation systems before the series began [Boeing X-37 and X-40].

The scaling result from the sizing section has a direct and favourable consequence here. Under Froude similarity angular rates scale as the inverse square root of the length ratio, so at $\lambda = 0.778$ the model’s angular rates are

\[\frac{\omega_{m}}{\omega_{f}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{0.778}} = 1.134 \tag{53}\]

times those of the full-scale vehicle. A control system that stabilises the smaller vehicle is working about 13 percent faster than it would need to on the larger one. The subscale test is conservative for the autopilot. The usual situation is the opposite, and this reversal is the strongest single argument for the programme.

The mass mismatch works in the same direction and more strongly, and it can be quantified rather than asserted. Dynamic similarity requires the inertia ratio to be $\lambda^{5}$, while the actual inertia ratio is the mass ratio times the square of the length ratio.

\[\left(\frac{I_{m}}{I_{f}}\right)_{\text{required}} = 0.778^{5} = 0.285 \tag{54}\] \[\left(\frac{I_{m}}{I_{f}}\right)_{\text{actual}} = (0.236)(0.778)^{2} = 0.143 \tag{55}\] \[\frac{0.143}{0.285} = 0.502 \tag{56}\]

The vehicle carried half the rotational inertia that similarity demanded. Since angular acceleration is a moment divided by an inertia, the response to a given control moment is correspondingly quicker.

\[\ddot{\theta} = \frac{M}{I} \quad \Longrightarrow \quad \frac{\ddot{\theta}_{\text{actual}}}{\ddot{\theta}_{\text{similar}}} = \frac{0.285}{0.143} = 1.99 \tag{57}\]

The plant responded about twice as fast as a dynamically similar model would have. Combined with the 13 percent rate increase from the geometric scale, the control system was exercised against something appreciably harder to fly than the aircraft it was written for, and passing that test is informative even though the trajectory itself does not scale.

The demonstrated landing accuracy means more as an angle, because a lateral error means little without the range it was achieved over. The published figure belongs to the 1998 flight, which touched down left of the centreline and then tracked to within 7 feet of it [Boeing X-40]. That flight was released 2.5 miles, or 13,200 feet, from the end of the runway, and the ground track to the point of measurement is at least that long, so the angle subtended is at most

\[\theta \le \frac{7}{13{,}200} = 5.30 \times 10^{-4} \ \text{rad} = 1.82 \ \text{arcmin} \tag{58}\]

which is no more than 0.053 percent of the distance flown. The programme should be judged on that number, the only figure in the record that speaks directly to whether the autonomy worked. The touchdown offset itself is not published, so the figure measures rollout tracking rather than the accuracy of the touchdown point.

Structure and Landing Gear

The structure had to survive a helicopter drop and a runway rollout, and nothing else. With no thermal protection system and no orbital loads, the design case is the landing. Touchdown vertical velocity sets the energy the gear must absorb, and for a gear stroke $s$ absorbing a sink rate $\dot{h}$ at touchdown the mean deceleration is

\[a = \frac{\dot{h}^{2}}{2s} \tag{59}\]

The touchdown sink rate for this class is measured rather than guessed at. A statistical analysis of landing contact conditions across three lifting-body research vehicles supplies the distribution a gear designer would work from [Larson 1972], and the value used here sits inside it. A representative touchdown sink of 3 feet per second into a 6 inch stroke gives

\[a = \frac{3^{2}}{2(0.5)} = 9 \ \text{ft/s}^{2} \tag{60}\]

which is about 0.28 g, and the case is undemanding because the vehicle is light. The gear was sized by a mass the operational vehicle would not have had, and the structural results therefore do not transfer either.

The rollout is equally gentle and equally uninformative. The vehicle stopped in a little over 7,000 feet [Boeing X-40], so the mean deceleration for a touchdown speed $V_{td}$ is

\[a = \frac{V_{td}^{2}}{2 s} = \frac{V_{td}^{2}}{14{,}000} \tag{61}\]

No touchdown speed is published, so the figure is bracketed rather than stated. At 150 feet per second the mean deceleration is 1.61 feet per second squared, and at 200 feet per second it is 2.86.

\[a\big|_{150} = 0.050 \ g \qquad a\big|_{200} = 0.089 \ g \tag{62}\]

Under a tenth of a gravity in either case, the result a light vehicle with no thrust reverser and a very long runway produces. The X-37A overran a runway in 2006 at about 120 percent of the linear scale [Boeing X-37], and the calculation above shows why the X-40A’s rollout, made at a mass the larger vehicle did not share, said nothing useful about that.

The Carrier and Release System

Two different helicopters carried it and the change is informative. The 1998 flight used a UH-60 Black Hawk releasing from a cradle at about 9,000 feet [Boeing X-37 and X-40]. The 2001 series used an Army CH-47D Chinook from the Aviation Technical Test Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama, lifting to 15,050 feet [X-40A second free flight successful].

The heavier helicopter bought altitude, and altitude is the test article’s entire energy budget. For an unpowered vehicle the available specific energy at release is

\[\frac{E}{m} = gh + \tfrac{1}{2}V_{0}^{2} \tag{63}\]

and with release from a hover the second term is nearly zero, so the whole flight is paid for by height. The two release altitudes therefore differ by exactly their ratio.

\[\frac{(E/m)_{2001}}{(E/m)_{1998}} = \frac{g(15{,}050)}{g(9{,}000)} = \frac{15{,}050}{9{,}000} = 1.672 \tag{64}\]

The heavier helicopter supplied 67.2 percent more energy, and the 2001 series spent it on manoeuvres more complex than the straight-in approach flown first [X-40A second free flight successful].

Instrumentation

The instrumentation requirement follows from what the programme wanted to learn. Because the trajectory does not scale, there is little value in high-fidelity aerodynamic instrumentation, and because the software is the article under test, the valuable measurements are of the navigation state and of the control system’s behaviour.

The programme’s own statement of objectives is broader than that argument. The flight test approach for the 2001 series lists the evaluation of a calculated air data system and of the Honeywell satellite and inertial navigation unit under flight conditions, the tuning of the guidance, navigation and control algorithms, and parameter identification manoeuvres to improve the X-37 aerodynamic database [Mitchell 2004]. The aerodynamic coefficients of a shape do not depend on its mass, and at 69 percent of full-scale Reynolds number they carry over with the mild correction derived above, so that part of the flight data was meant to inform the successor even though the trajectory was not.

The record also describes the navigation hardware, and it shows what the navigation testing was for. A paper given to the twentieth Digital Avionics Conference in October 2001 reports the testing of the Space Integrated Global Positioning System and Inertial Navigation System during the X-40A approach and landing campaign, describing it as an off-the-shelf navigation-grade unit enhanced for space and reentry environments and testing it against differential satellite navigation [Childers et al. 2001]. Its two stated objectives name the purpose of that testing, being to demonstrate performance sufficient to meet the X-37 requirement for automatic autonomous approach and landing, and to reduce the risk of integrating that unit into that vehicle.

That is a hardware qualification and not a scaling experiment. It supports this article’s thesis, because it shows the programme buying confidence in a component and a software stack rather than a trajectory, and it does so in the words of the people who ran it.

The Flight Test Record

The X-40A flew eight free flights across two programmes and three years, and every one of them ended in an autonomous landing [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle] [Boeing X-37 and X-40].

The first flight was on 11 August 1998 at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. It was released from a cradle beneath a UH-60 at about 9,000 feet and flew to an automatic landing on the designated runway [Boeing X-37 and X-40], having been released some 2.5 miles from the end of Runway 04 [Boeing X-40]. Boeing described the objective as validating low-speed handling qualities and demonstrating autonomous approach and landing [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle]. That single flight was the whole of the 1998 campaign [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle].

The vehicle was then loaned to the space agency and flew seven more times in 2001 at Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle]. The series ran between 4 April and 19 May 2001 [Boeing X-37 and X-40], with the vehicle lifted to 15,000 feet beneath a CH-47D and released for an autonomously controlled descent of about 75 seconds onto the main runway [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle].

The second free flight is the best documented and supplies every number used in the sizing section above. On 12 April 2001 the vehicle was released at 15,050 feet at 8:45 in the morning Pacific time and its wheels rolled to a stop at 8:47, having reached 428 feet per second, and the flight exercised complex vehicle manoeuvres rather than the straight-in approach flown first [X-40A second free flight successful].

Landing accuracy is published for the 1998 flight alone. The vehicle touched down left of the centreline, deployed its drag chutes, tracked to within 7 feet of the runway centreline and stopped in a little over 7,000 feet [Boeing X-40]. That account comes from an encyclopaedia entry, and none of the sources the entry cites for the flight carries the figures. Seven feet is the result that justifies the programme, because centreline tracking is the quantity an autonomous landing system is trusted or not trusted on.

The record contains two conflicts and this article does not resolve either. One account places the first Dryden free flight on 14 March 2001 with a straight-in approach [X-40A second free flight successful], the Air Force museum places the first NASA flight on 28 March 2001 [Boeing X-40A], and another gives 4 April as the start of the series [Boeing X-37 and X-40]. The release altitude of the 1998 flight is given as 9,000 feet [Boeing X-37 and X-40] and as about 10,000 feet [Boeing X-40A].

The vehicle was retired in May 2001 and is preserved at the National Museum of the United States Air Force [Boeing X-40] [Boeing X-40A].

Comparison With Ground Prediction

The record holds no published ground prediction for the X-40A itself, so a direct comparison cannot be made. None of the article’s sources reports a wind tunnel campaign, a simulation of the trajectory or a contractor estimate of the descent that the flights could be checked against. What the article can set beside the flight record is the expectation the programme stated, the analytical relations derived under Sizing From First Principles, and the measured behaviour of the vehicle class the shape came from.

The stated expectation was met in full. The programme manager gave the purpose of the first flight as validating low-speed handling qualities and demonstrating autonomous approach and landing [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle]. Flight returned eight free flights, each ending in an autonomous landing, and a landing within 7 feet of the runway centreline on the 1998 flight [Boeing X-40]. That is the confirmation of an objective and not a comparison of numbers, because no predicted dispersion is published to set the 7 feet against.

The navigation unit was the only component tested in flight against an independent reference. The Space Integrated Global Positioning System and Inertial Navigation System was evaluated during the approach and landing campaign against differential satellite navigation [Childers et al. 2001]. Its achieved accuracies are in the full report rather than in its abstract, as Epistemic State notes below, so the article cannot state how closely flight matched what was required.

The glide can be compared with its class, and it fell well short of the class maximum. Flight-determined subsonic lift and drag for seven lifting-body and wing-body configurations put the attainable maximum ratio in the range of roughly 3 to 4 [Saltzman et al. 1999], and the 2001 flight figures give an effective ratio of 1.88. The sizing analysis above argues that the gap reflects energy management toward a fixed point rather than an aerodynamic deficit. The comparison is against other vehicles’ flight data and not against a prediction for this one, which limits what it can show.

The analytical predictions run the other way, from the flight article toward the full-scale vehicle. The similarity relations predict that a dynamically similar model at a length ratio of 0.778 would weigh 5,186 lb, and the vehicle weighed about 2,600 lb. The angular rate relation predicts a model responding about 13 percent faster than the full-scale vehicle, and the inertia shortfall roughly doubled the response to a given control moment, as argued under Dependent Systems. Those are predictions about what the flights could transfer, and the X-37A overrun of 2006 is the nearest thing in the record to a test of them, which the next section discusses and Epistemic State marks as an inference.

The reference area was never predicted in public and flight recovers it only in part. The steady glide fixes the product of planform area and lift coefficient at 13.42 square feet, and the split between them, a planform near 100 square feet and a lift coefficient of 0.134, is the article’s estimate and not a measurement.

What the Data Changed

The programme’s output was a validated software stack and a shape, and the shape mattered more than anybody expected at the time.

The airframe became the X-37. The X-37A airframe is essentially the X-40A scaled up to about 120 percent [Boeing X-37 and X-40], and the X-37 line flew the Approach and Landing Test Vehicle flights in 2006 and then flew to orbit [Boeing X-37]. The scale ratio subsection above computes 128.5 percent from the published dimensions. A test article that cost one million dollars to build set the external geometry of a spacecraft that has since flown for years at a time, its sixth mission spending 908 days in orbit [Boeing X-37], and the series has no other example of such a return on investment.

The successor programme documented its approach and landing plan in detail, describing the flight test approach for the X-37 Approach and Landing Test Vehicle [Taylor 2004], its dynamics and stability and control characteristics [Chaudhary et al. 2001], and, afterwards, the lessons the project drew [Turner and Spanyer 2005].

The autonomous landing capability was demonstrated and then demonstrated again the hard way. The X-37A Approach and Landing Test Vehicle overran the runway and sustained minor damage on its first free glide flight on 7 April 2006 [Boeing X-37]. That is the clearest evidence available that the X-40A results did not transfer quantitatively, since the same programme lineage, flying a vehicle 120 percent the size, failed to stop on the runway.

What the X-40A settled was that the approach was tractable, not that it was solved, and the distinction can be made numerically. Eight successes and no failures is a small sample, and the standard one-sided bound says how small. For $n$ trials with no observed failure, the upper limit on the failure probability $p$ at confidence $1 - \alpha$ follows from requiring that $n$ successes be no less likely than $\alpha$.

\[(1 - p)^{n} = \alpha \quad \Longrightarrow \quad p_{\max} = 1 - \alpha^{1/n} \tag{65}\] \[p_{\max} = 1 - 0.05^{1/8} = 0.312 \tag{66}\]

Eight clean landings bound the failure rate only below about 31 percent at 95 percent confidence. The bound describes the sample size rather than the vehicle, and in that precise sense the programme established tractability and not reliability. A vehicle returning from orbit needs a figure several orders of magnitude smaller, and no drop-test campaign of affordable length reaches it.

What the flights did establish is that the concept, the sensors and the integration work at all, a different and necessary result. It does not establish the gains, the margins or the energy management logic for a heavier vehicle, and the 2006 overrun is what that gap looks like in practice.

The cost per flight is the other number that makes the programme look sensible. One million dollars of fabrication across eight free flights is

\[\frac{1{,}000{,}000}{8} = 125{,}000 \ \text{dollars per flight} \tag{67}\]

before operating costs, which no source gives. Whatever the true total, a programme that buys eight autonomous landings at this order of magnitude is buying them cheaply, and the argument for the X-40A was never that each flight proved much but that flights were affordable enough to repeat.

The Space Maneuver Vehicle itself was never built under that name. The operational concept the X-40A was ninety percent of was not built as the X-40B, and the designation it briefly held moved to the test article [Boeing X-37 and X-40]. The programme’s surviving descendant is a space agency and then Air Force orbital vehicle rather than the rapid-turnaround military spaceplane that justified it [Boeing X-37].

Dynamic Similarity and Subscale Free Flight

This is the article’s keystone and it has a literature of its own. The cluster gathers dynamically scaled, free-flight and drop models, similitude, and the correlation of wind tunnel and flight data.

Of its 488 titles, 328 name a free-flight, drop, subscale or dynamically scaled model and 71 name the Reynolds number, which is the mismatch that a model matched in Froude number cannot avoid. The mass condition that this article finds violated is the thin part, as the section headed Thin Subjects counts.

Autonomous and Automatic Landing

The capability the X-40A existed to demonstrate is now ordinary and was not then. The cluster runs from automatic landing studies for the Shuttle and autoland for transport aircraft to vision-guided landing of uncrewed aircraft.

Of its 812 titles, 273 concern uncrewed aircraft or rotorcraft, 108 concern landing on a carrier, a ship or another moving platform, and 68 concern the Shuttle, a reusable launch vehicle, a spaceplane or another unpowered return vehicle. The landing problem the X-40A rehearsed is a small part of this literature, which has moved to small uncrewed aircraft and to moving decks.

Planetary and Lunar Precision Landing

Precision landing on the Moon, Mars, asteroids and comets is the autonomous landing problem without a runway. The cluster gathers powered descent guidance, terrain-relative navigation and hazard avoidance for landers.

Of its 138 titles, 48 name vision, optical, crater, terrain, lidar or hazard sensing, and 1 names satellite navigation. The X-40A’s reliance on satellite and inertial navigation has almost no counterpart there.

Guidance, Navigation and Control in the Literature

The X-40A was a flying testbed for software, so this is the cluster its results belong to. Integrated satellite and inertial navigation, filtering, and terminal guidance are the components whose integration the flights exercised.

Of its 422 titles, 173 name integration, fusion, coupling, a Kalman filter or another filter, which is the work of making the sensors agree.

Entry Aerothermodynamics and Thermal Protection

This cluster covers what the X-40A did not test. Entry guidance, hypersonic aerodynamics and thermal protection are the parts of the mission that begin in orbit, and the vehicle carried no thermal protection system at all. The cluster is here to mark the boundary of what the flights addressed, not because the flights addressed it.

Of its 732 titles, 214 concern thermal protection, ablation or insulation.

Touchdown, Rollout and Runway Performance

The landing does not end at touchdown and the X-37A’s 2006 overrun is why this cluster matters. Gear loads, braking, rollout distance and runway excursion are the terminal problem, and they are governed by the mass the X-40A did not carry.

Of its 409 titles, 239 concern landing gear, struts and shock absorbers, and 129 concern the runway, the tyre, braking, friction or the landing distance.

409 records. [1958, Tire-runway braking friction coefficients] [1960, Flight tests to determine the coefficients of friction between an aircraft tyre and various wet runway surfaces.

Demonstrator Programmes and Risk Reduction

Whether a demonstrator is worth building is the frame in which a one million dollar test article that flew eight times should be judged. The cluster gathers flight test programmes, their planning and instrumentation, and technology demonstrators.

Of its 248 titles, 206 concern flight test programmes, flight testing or test instrumentation, and 18 name cost, value, benefit, economics or risk reduction. How to test a demonstrator is asked far more often than whether to build one.

Drop Testing, Captive Carry and Release Dynamics

This cluster covers the manoeuvre that began every X-40A flight. Release from a carrier vehicle is a transient with its own dynamics, and it is the one part of the flight profile that has no counterpart in the operational mission.

Where the Framing Breaks Down

Treating the X-40A through the similarity keystone is correct about the physics and misleading about the programme, in three ways.

First, the programme never claimed dynamic similarity and the framing risks knocking down an argument nobody made. Boeing described the vehicle as a technology demonstrator [Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle] and the space agency described the flights as software evaluation [X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle]. Neither promised that the trajectory would scale, and the mass result above is a finding about what the vehicle could have delivered rather than about a broken promise.

Second, similarity analysis assumes the objective is prediction, and here it was rehearsal. A great deal of what an autonomous landing programme must retire is not physics at all, being the integration of navigation sensors, the handling of dropouts, the release transient, the interaction with range safety, and the question of whether the whole apparatus works on a real morning in real air. None of that scales because none of it is a similarity problem, and all of it is retired by flying.

Third, the keystone flatters the flight data by treating a 75 second glide as representative. The X-37’s return from orbit passes through hypersonic, supersonic and transonic flight and a thermal environment the X-40A never approached. The X-40A tested the last four nautical miles of a mission that begins in orbit, and calling that risk reduction for the mission is a claim about proportion that the flight data cannot support.

The Source Base

Forty-three curated sources carry the argument, and the survey maps the field around them. Twenty-nine of the forty-three are reports that also sit in the survey, and the other 4,256 survey records carry no claim about the X-40A.

Fourteen of the forty-three are reference works and contemporaneous accounts. The manufacturer’s press release and the space agency’s programme page supply the dimensions and the flight profile. A designation reference, a defence reference site and the Air Force museum’s fact sheet supply the programme’s history, one is a contemporaneous report of the second free flight, two encyclopaedia entries describe the X-40 and its successor, five define terms or name other vehicles, and the 1976 standard atmosphere supplies the properties of the air. Every dimensional claim traces to that set, and every derived number is computed here rather than quoted.

Twenty-nine are primary technical reports, which makes the curated set 67 percent primary, and they are not decorative. They supply the canonical account of dynamically scaled free-flight practice, the measured lift and drag of seven lifting-body configurations against which this article’s claim about attainable ratios is checked, the statistical distribution of lifting-body touchdown conditions behind its landing gear figure, four decades of low lift-to-drag approach and landing research beginning in 1959, the design literature for automatic landing of unpowered vehicles, the Shuttle Approach and Landing Test programme that is this campaign’s direct methodological precedent, the stated objectives of the 2001 flight series, and the successor programme’s own flight test documents.

The research survey holds 4,285 research records drawn from Crossref, the NASA Technical Reports Server and the Defense Technical Information Center, of which 659 are report primaries, being 15.4 percent, by the identifier rule set out under The Definition of Primary. The median publication year of the 4,253 dated records is 2012. Of those, 1,392 were published before 2001, the year of the second campaign, being 32.7 percent, and 1,844 were published in 2015 or later, being 43.4 percent.

The Definition of Primary

Primacy is a property of the document, and this survey derives it from the identifier. A record is a report primary when its address is on the NASA Technical Reports Server or it carries a digital object identifier under the 10.21236 prefix, which Crossref registers for Defense Technical Information Center reports. All twenty-nine of the reports the argument rests on are report primaries under that rule. The rule does not reach conference papers and journal articles that report flight tests at first hand, such as the X-37 programme’s papers to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, so 15.4 percent is a lower bound on how much of the survey is first-hand.

Thin Subjects

Several subjects that this article’s derivations depend on have thin literatures. Each count below is the number of research records in this survey whose title carries at least one of the listed terms, with a hyphen read as a space. Where a row joins two groups of terms with the word together, a title must carry a term from each group.

Subject	Title terms counted	Records
the relative density of a free-flight model	relative density, mass parameter, relative mass, mass ratio	0
Froude similarity	froude	2
dynamically scaled drop models	drop model, drop models	9
the inertia of a scaled model	inertia together with scaled, scale model, similar, similitude, free flight, free flying, drop model	1
the reliability bound from flights without failure	zero failure, success run, reliability demonstration, binomial, confidence bound, failure free	0
the worth of a flight demonstrator	demonstrator, demonstration together with cost, value, worth, benefit, affordab, economic	9
runway overrun and excursion	overrun, excursion	39

The parameter in which the free-flight literature states dynamic similarity is absent from its titles. No title carries a relative density, a mass parameter, a relative mass or a mass ratio, although the article displays the relative density as the canonical similarity condition and finds the X-40A at about half of it. The condition is stated inside the reports, as the canonical account of free-flight practice states it, and not in what they are called.

Froude similarity and the drop model are named rarely. Two titles name the Froude number and nine name a drop model, and one names the inertia of a scaled or dynamically similar model, which is the quantity behind this article’s finding that the X-40A responded about twice as fast as a similar model would have.

The reliability bound has no literature here. No title in the survey names a zero-failure bound, a success run or a reliability demonstration, so the statement that eight clean landings bound the failure rate only below about 31 percent rests on the binomial relation derived above and not on a body of flight-test reliability work.

The worth of a demonstrator is rarely the subject of a title. Nine titles name a demonstrator or a demonstration together with its cost, value, benefit or economics, and the article’s argument that eight affordable flights were the point of the programme stands on the X-40A’s own record.

Runway overrun and excursion, on which the closing argument rests, is better represented, with 39 records whose title contains overrun or excursion.

What the Survey Admits

A record is admitted only when a person reading its title finds it on this article’s subject. The subjects are the ten clusters above, and the object must be a flight vehicle or a method stated for one. Many words this subject depends on also name something else, and a record that shares only such a word is excluded. The runway is a piece of apparatus in animal behaviour research, a straight alley a rat runs down for reinforcement, and it is also where fashion is shown. Disaster risk reduction shares both words with flight risk reduction and nothing else. Subscale is a psychometrics term, a subscale being a component of a test instrument. Relative density is a soil mechanics term, and moment of inertia names a nuclear physics model of rotational bands as well as the section property of a beam. Similitude also governs model studies of piles, dams, bridges, ships, plates, shells and rotating machinery. Energy management also names the control of buildings, microgrids and electric cars, rollout also names a class of algorithm, Autoland is also the name of a company in a court case, and free flight is also a concept of air traffic management.

The admission rule also excludes neighbouring literatures that share a technique and not the subject. Navigation of cars, ships, underwater vehicles, pedestrians, trains and ground robots is excluded, because the X-40A’s navigation problem is that of a flight vehicle. So are orbital manoeuvring, rendezvous and docking, the homing, interception and tracking of missiles and reentry vehicles, the acoustics of aircraft and their components, the internal aerodynamics of engines, fans and compressors, airfoil and wing design at a stated Reynolds number, runway pavement construction, and fluid mechanics with no flight application, such as flow past cylinders and the statistics of wall turbulence. Records on wind turbines, electrical machines and power networks, granular media, geophysics and astrophysics are excluded as well, together with correction, erratum, retraction and withdrawal notices, figure and supplementary-material records, peer-review reports and journal front matter, because the survey counts research works. Second deposits of one document, such as a conference paper and its journal version under the same title, are counted once. A review of a book, a news item, signed or unsigned, together with a news writer’s reply to a letter about a news story, a patent abstract, an abstract reprinted in another journal’s abstract section, and a reference or definition entry of two pages or fewer are not admitted either, while an authored encyclopedia article of more than two pages and a textbook chapter are research works and are kept. So are a signed comment on a paper, a discussion of a paper, the author’s reply to either and a signed letter on a research subject, because each argues about a result, and they are admitted when their subject is this article’s.

The survey keeps 145 records of doubtful relevance. Their titles do not settle whether they are on the subject, and a reader may weigh each accordingly. They are navigation methods whose platform the title does not name, such as dead reckoning aided by satellite navigation, general chapters and facilities on similitude, Reynolds number effects and wind tunnel testing, crash and drop tests of airframes, runway surfaces and sites, guidance of gliding vehicles and munitions whose purpose the title leaves open, and propulsion, orbital and programme titles that may or may not concern a flight vehicle in the regimes this article treats. Quadrotor and multirotor landing and drone landing gear are kept within the scope of uncrewed landing, and lunar and planetary landers within the planetary landing cluster.

Every research title has been read for relevance, so the off-topic share that remains is a matter of reading judgement. A reading of titles cannot show that a work is relevant in substance, so this is a statement about titles only.

Epistemic State

Historical Fact

Boeing received a contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Military Space Plane Technology office in October 1996 to build a technology demonstrator for the Space Maneuver Vehicle. The X-40A designation was allocated to the operational vehicle in 1997 and reassigned to the Integrated Technology Test Bed. The vehicle was built at Boeing Phantom Works in Seal Beach, California, is 22 feet long with a 12 foot span, weighs about 2,600 pounds, and cost approximately one million dollars to fabricate. It first flew on 11 August 1998 at Holloman Air Force Base after release from a UH-60. It was loaned to the space agency and flew seven free flights at Dryden Flight Research Center in 2001, released from a CH-47D at about 15,000 feet for descents of about 75 seconds. The second of those flights was on 12 April 2001, released at 15,050 feet, reaching 428 feet per second. The vehicle was retired in May 2001 and is preserved at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. The X-37 airframe is about 120 percent of the X-40A.

Engineering Analysis

Every quantitative result here is computed from published dimensions, masses and flight figures using standard relations, and each can be recomputed from the figures the article gives. The scale ratios follow from the published lengths and spans. The Froude, Reynolds, time, angular rate and mass conditions are the standard free-flight similarity relations and carry no vehicle property at all. The flight path angle, effective lift to drag ratio and ground range follow from the released altitude, the duration and the speed. The product of reference area and lift coefficient follows from the steady glide.

Three results are sensitivities rather than assertions. The scale ratio is tabulated across the full range of published figures and no conclusion moves. The reference area is bounded rather than stated. The landing gear deceleration uses a representative sink rate and stroke, neither of which is published, and is offered only to show that the case is undemanding.

Inference

That the mass shortfall explains what the programme bought is an inference, not a claim any source makes. The sources describe a technology demonstrator and a software evaluation. The observation that its mass ratio and its geometric ratio disagree by a wide margin is arithmetic, and the conclusion that the trajectory therefore could not transfer follows from the similarity relations, but no source frames the vehicle this way and the programme may never have intended the comparison.

That the 2006 X-37A runway overrun evidences the limits of transfer is an inference. The two events are connected by programme lineage and by the shape, and the article does not know how much of the guidance software was common between them.

That the subscale test was conservative for the flight control system is an inference from the angular rate relation, and it holds only to the extent that control system difficulty tracks angular rate, which is a simplification.

What the Record Does Not Settle

The reference area, and therefore the wing loading and the lift coefficient, are not published. The product of area and lift coefficient is recovered from the flight data and the split between them is an estimate.

The release altitude of the 1998 flight is given as both 9,000 and about 10,000 feet, and the two imply straight-line glide ratios of 1.47 and 1.32.

The start date of the 2001 series is given as 14 March, 28 March and 4 April 2001. One account describes a first free flight on the earliest date flying a straight-in approach, which would make the 12 April flight the second, and that is consistent with the sources describing 12 April as the second free flight. The conflict is recorded rather than resolved.

The 75 second descent is the space agency’s description of the 2001 releases from 15,000 feet and is not stated for the 12 April flight. The flight path angle, glide ratio and ground range are computed by pairing it with that flight’s 15,050 foot release and 428 feet per second, and they inherit that pairing.

The only published landing accuracy, 7 feet of centreline tracking on the 1998 flight, comes from an encyclopaedia entry whose cited sources do not carry the figure, and the touchdown offset that preceded it is not published. The 2.5 mile release distance of that flight rests on the same entry, whose cited source does not carry it either.

The X-37B weight used in the mass comparison is a maximum takeoff weight including payload and propellant. A landing weight would be lower and would reduce the computed shortfall, so the factor of two is an upper bound on the mismatch and not a measurement of it. No landing weight is published.

The navigation hardware is described in the record. A paper to the twentieth Digital Avionics Conference names the Space Integrated Global Positioning System and Inertial Navigation System, reports its testing during the X-40A approach and landing campaign against differential satellite navigation, and states its objectives as demonstrating performance sufficient for the X-37 requirement and reducing the risk of integrating that unit into that vehicle [Childers et al. 2001]. The wider instrumentation suite is described only through the flight test objectives, which name a calculated air data system and parameter identification manoeuvres [Mitchell 2004], and the achieved navigation accuracies are in the full report rather than in its abstract, so they are not quoted here.

Whether any of the X-40A software was common with the X-37A Approach and Landing Test Vehicle is not established, which weakens the inference drawn from the 2006 overrun.

Out of Scope

The X-37 as an orbital vehicle, which has its own article in this series. The Space Maneuver Vehicle operational concept and the military spacelift debate that produced it. The Approach and Landing Test Vehicle campaign of 2005 and 2006 and its carrier aircraft arrangements. Buran’s autonomous landing and the Soviet automatic landing system, which deserve separate treatment. The Shuttle’s automatic landing modes and the manual control its crews took over. Thermal protection system development, which the X-40A did not carry and did not test. Modern autonomous landing practice in uncrewed aircraft, which is surveyed here and not analysed.

Conclusion

The X-40A is remembered as a subscale model and the arithmetic shows it was not one. Its geometric ratio to the X-37 is about 0.78 and the scale ratio its mass implies is about 0.62, so it flew at roughly half the weight that dynamic similarity demanded. The Froude number was never matched, so the speeds, the times and the trajectory never scaled, and no trajectory result from those eight flights transfers to the vehicle it was built to inform. The aerodynamic coefficients were another matter, because they depend on the shape and not on the mass, and the flights carried parameter identification manoeuvres for the X-37 aerodynamic database [Mitchell 2004].

What it bought instead was eight rehearsals. An autonomous guidance, navigation and control system was exercised in real air, against a plant that its smaller scale made about 13 percent quicker to respond, and its mass deficit quicker again, than the full-scale vehicle would be, and it landed the aircraft every time, once within 7 feet of the centreline. The subscale test was harder than the full-scale case in the one dimension that mattered, and it gives the programme its strongest argument.

The most durable output was the shape. A one million dollar test article defined the outer mould line of a spacecraft that has since spent years in orbit. And the clearest evidence of what did not transfer came in 2006, when the 120 percent vehicle built on that shape overran the runway on its first free flight.

The next article returns to a vehicle designed to be shot down.

Equations

This section collects the 67 display equations of the article in the order they appear, each under its number and reproduced exactly as it stands in the text. A title in bold names an established result, and a title in italics beginning with the word Bespoke names a construction made for this analysis. Of the 67, 39 are established and 28 are bespoke. The flight relations are evaluated in customary units, with lengths in feet, weights in pounds, masses in slugs and speeds in feet per second, subscripts $m$ and $f$ mark the X-40A model and the full-scale X-37, and several letters are reused, so $\mu$ is the dynamic viscosity in the Reynolds number but the relative density from the similarity parameter onward, $\theta$ is a pitch angle in the angular acceleration relation and the angle subtended by the landing error after it, and $s$ is a gear stroke and then a rollout distance.

Equation 1, Weight Ratio of the X-40A to the Ballasted Orbiter. The published X-40A weight over the approximately 150,000 pounds of the ballasted orbiter gives a ratio below one fiftieth. Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle Approach and Landing Test final evaluation 1978

\[\frac{W_{\text{X-40A}}}{W_{\text{orbiter}}} = \frac{2{,}600}{150{,}000} = 0.0173 < \frac{1}{50} \tag{1}\]

Equation 2, Froude Number. The Froude number compares inertial to gravitational force. Chambers 2010

\[\mathrm{Fr} = \frac{V^{2}}{gL} \tag{2}\]

Equation 3, Reynolds Number. The Reynolds number compares inertial to viscous force and governs the boundary layer.

\[\mathrm{Re} = \frac{\rho V L}{\mu} \tag{3}\]

Equation 4, Froude Similarity Requirement. Similarity requires the model and the full-scale vehicle to share a Froude number.

\[\frac{V_{m}^{2}}{g L_{m}} = \frac{V_{f}^{2}}{g L_{f}} \tag{4}\]

Equation 5, Speed Ratio Under Froude Similarity. Since gravity is common to both, the speed ratio is the square root of the length ratio.

\[\frac{V_{m}}{V_{f}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \tag{5}\]

Equation 6, Time Ratio Under Froude Similarity. A length divided by a speed is a time, so the time ratio is also the square root of the length ratio.

\[\frac{t_{m}}{t_{f}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \tag{6}\]

Equation 7, Angular Rate Ratio Under Froude Similarity. Angular rates scale as the inverse square root of the length ratio and therefore rise in the model.

\[\frac{\omega_{m}}{\omega_{f}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\lambda}} \tag{7}\]

Equation 8, Reynolds Number Ratio in Common Air. Substituting the Froude-matched speed into the Reynolds number with density and viscosity common gives the product of the speed and length ratios.

\[\frac{\mathrm{Re}_{m}}{\mathrm{Re}_{f}} = \frac{V_{m} L_{m}}{V_{f} L_{f}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \cdot \lambda \tag{8}\]

Equation 9, Reynolds Number Ratio as a Power of Scale. The Reynolds number ratio under Froude similarity in common air is the length ratio to the three-halves power.

\[\frac{\mathrm{Re}_{m}}{\mathrm{Re}_{f}} = \lambda^{3/2} \tag{9}\]

Equation 10, Mach Number Ratio Under Froude Similarity. With the speed of sound common the Mach number ratio equals the speed ratio.

\[\frac{\mathrm{Ma}_{m}}{\mathrm{Ma}_{f}} = \sqrt{\lambda} \tag{10}\]

Equation 11, Dynamic Pressure Ratio Under Froude Similarity. With density common the dynamic pressure scales linearly with the length ratio.

\[\frac{\bar{q}_{m}}{\bar{q}_{f}} = \frac{\rho V_{m}^{2}}{\rho V_{f}^{2}} = \lambda \tag{11}\]

Equation 12, Weight Ratio Under Froude Similarity. Equal relative density requires the model weight to scale as the cube of the length ratio.

\[\frac{W_{m}}{W_{f}} = \lambda^{3} \tag{12}\]

Equation 13, Wing Loading Ratio Under Froude Similarity. Weight scaling as the cube and area as the square of the length ratio make the wing loading scale linearly.

\[\frac{(W/S)_{m}}{(W/S)_{f}} = \lambda \tag{13}\]

Equation 14, Inertia Ratio Under Mass Similarity. A moment of inertia is a mass times a length squared, so under mass similarity it scales as the fifth power of the length ratio.

\[\frac{I_{m}}{I_{f}} = \frac{m_{m}}{m_{f}} \left(\frac{L_{m}}{L_{f}}\right)^{2} = \lambda^{3} \lambda^{2} = \lambda^{5} \tag{14}\]

Equation 15, Relative Density. The relative density compares the vehicle’s mass to the mass of air in a volume defined by its reference area and length. Chambers 2010

\[\mu = \frac{m}{\rho S l} \tag{15}\]

Equation 16, Relative Density Similarity Condition. Dynamic similarity of a free-flight model holds when the relative densities of model and full-scale vehicle match. Chambers 2010

\[\mu_{m} = \mu_{f} \tag{16}\]

Equation 17, Length Ratio From the Published Lengths. The published lengths of the X-40A and X-37B give a length ratio of 0.752. Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle Boeing X-37

\[\lambda_{\text{length}} = \frac{6.71}{8.92} = 0.752 \tag{17}\]

Equation 18, Span Ratio From the Published Spans. The published spans give a span ratio of 0.804. Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle Boeing X-37

\[\lambda_{\text{span}} = \frac{3.66}{4.55} = 0.804 \tag{18}\]

Equation 19, Bespoke Reciprocal of the Mean Scale Ratio. The scale ratio is taken as 0.778, the mean of the length and span ratios, and its reciprocal is checked against the published figure of about 120 percent. Boeing X-37

\[\frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{0.778} = 1.285 \tag{19}\]

Equation 20, Bespoke Dynamically Similar Model Weight. Froude similarity at the mean scale ratio of 0.778 requires a model weight of 5,186 pounds from the published X-37B maximum takeoff weight. Boeing X-37

\[W_{m} = W_{f} \lambda^{3} = 11{,}000 \times 0.778^{3} = 5{,}186 \ \text{lb} \tag{20}\]

Equation 21, Scale Ratio Implied by the Mass Ratio. The cube root of the published weight ratio implies a scale ratio of 0.618, well below the geometric one. Boeing and the Air Force flight test the Space Maneuver Vehicle Boeing X-37

\[\lambda_{\text{mass}} = \left(\frac{2{,}600}{11{,}000}\right)^{1/3} = 0.618 \tag{21}\]

Equation 22, Bespoke Wing Loadings of Model and Full-Scale Vehicle. The wing loadings use an estimated X-40A reference area of 100 square feet and its scaling by the square of the mean scale ratio to 165 square feet.

\[\left(\frac{W}{S}\right)_{m} = \frac{2{,}600}{100} = 26.0 \ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \qquad \left(\frac{W}{S}\right)_{f} = \frac{11{,}000}{165} = 66.6 \ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{22}\]

Equation 23, Bespoke Wing Loading Ratio Against the Requirement. The ratio of the estimated wing loadings is 0.391 against a required value equal to the mean scale ratio.

\[\frac{(W/S)_{m}}{(W/S)_{f}} = 0.391 \quad \text{against a required} \quad \lambda = 0.778 \tag{23}\]

Equation 24, Bespoke Speed Ratio Against the Requirement. Taking speed to vary as the square root of wing loading at a given lift coefficient, the estimated loadings give a speed ratio of 0.625 against a required 0.882.

\[\frac{V_{m}}{V_{f}} = \sqrt{0.391} = 0.625 \quad \text{against a required} \quad \sqrt{\lambda} = 0.882 \tag{24}\]

Equation 25, Bespoke Fraction of the Dynamically Similar Speed. The ratio of the estimated to the required speed ratio is 0.708.

\[\frac{0.625}{0.882} = 0.708 \tag{25}\]

Equation 26, Bespoke Relative Densities of Model and Full-Scale Vehicle. The relative densities use the estimated reference areas, the vehicle lengths and the standard density at a mean altitude of 8,000 feet that the article takes.

\[\mu_{m} = \frac{80.8}{(0.001869)(100)(22.0)} = 19.7 \qquad \mu_{f} = \frac{341.9}{(0.001869)(165)(29.25)} = 37.9 \tag{26}\]

Equation 27, Bespoke Relative Density Ratio Against the Requirement. The ratio of the estimated relative densities is 0.519 against a required value of one.

\[\frac{\mu_{m}}{\mu_{f}} = 0.519 \quad \text{against a required} \quad 1.000 \tag{27}\]

Equation 28, Bespoke Reynolds Number Ratio of the X-40A. The Reynolds number ratio is evaluated at the mean scale ratio of 0.778.

\[\frac{\mathrm{Re}_{m}}{\mathrm{Re}_{f}} = 0.778^{3/2} = 0.686 \tag{28}\]

Equation 29, Reynolds Number Ratio of a 22 Percent Drop Model. At the published 22 percent scale of the F/A-18E/F drop model the same relation gives about a tenth of full scale. Croom et al. 2000

\[\frac{\mathrm{Re}_{m}}{\mathrm{Re}_{f}} = 0.22^{3/2} = 0.103 \tag{29}\]

Equation 30, Bespoke Absolute Reynolds Number of the X-40A. The Reynolds number on the 22 foot length at 428 feet per second uses standard atmosphere density and viscosity at a mean altitude of 8,000 feet that the article takes as representative. U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976

\[\mathrm{Re} = \frac{(0.001869)(428)(22.0)}{3.58 \times 10^{-7}} = 4.92 \times 10^{7} \tag{30}\]

Equation 31, Bespoke Mach Number of the X-40A. The published speed over the standard speed of sound at the representative altitude of 8,000 feet gives a Mach number of 0.394. U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976

\[\mathrm{Ma} = \frac{428}{1{,}085} = 0.394 \tag{31}\]

Equation 32, Bespoke Mean Sink Rate of the 12 April Flight. The release altitude of the 12 April flight is paired with the 75 second descent stated for the series, a pairing the article makes because no duration is given for that flight. X-40A Space Maneuvering Vehicle

\[\dot{h} = \frac{15{,}050}{75} = 200.7 \ \text{ft/s} \tag{32}\]

Equation 33, Sink Rate and Flight Path Angle. The sink rate is the speed along the flight path times the sine of the flight path angle.

\[\dot{h} = V \sin\gamma \tag{33}\]

Equation 34, Bespoke Flight Path Angle of the 12 April Flight. The paired mean sink rate over the published speed gives a flight path angle of 28.0 degrees.

\[\gamma = \arcsin\left(\frac{200.7}{428}\right) = 28.0^{\circ} \tag{34}\]

Equation 35, Force Balance in a Steady Glide. In a steady glide lift balances the weight component across the path and drag the component along it.

\[L = W \cos\gamma \qquad D = W \sin\gamma \tag{35}\]

Equation 36, Lift to Drag Ratio as the Cotangent of the Glide Angle. The ratio of the two balances makes the lift to drag ratio the cotangent of the flight path angle.

\[\frac{L}{D} = \frac{W\cos\gamma}{W\sin\gamma} = \cot\gamma \tag{36}\]

Equation 37, Bespoke Effective Lift to Drag Ratio. The flight path angle from the paired sink rate gives an effective lift to drag ratio of 1.88.

\[\left(\frac{L}{D}\right)_{\text{eff}} = \cot 28.0^{\circ} = 1.88 \tag{37}\]

Equation 38, Ground Range in a Steady Glide. The ground range is the height multiplied by the lift to drag ratio.

\[R = h \cot\gamma = h \left(\frac{L}{D}\right) \tag{38}\]

Equation 39, Bespoke Ground Range of the 12 April Flight. The release altitude over the tangent of the paired flight path angle gives 4.67 nautical miles.

\[R = \frac{15{,}050}{\tan 28.0^{\circ}} = 28{,}353 \ \text{ft} = 4.67 \ \text{nautical miles} \tag{39}\]

Equation 40, Specific Energy at Release. Releasing from a hover makes the initial kinetic term negligible, so the available specific energy is gravity times the release altitude.

\[\frac{E}{m} = g h = (32.174)(15{,}050) = 484{,}219 \ \text{ft}^{2}/\text{s}^{2} \tag{40}\]

Equation 41, Kinetic Energy per Unit Mass at the Published Speed. Half the published speed squared is 18.9 percent of the specific energy available at release.

\[\frac{V^{2}}{2} = \frac{428^{2}}{2} = 91{,}592 \ \text{ft}^{2}/\text{s}^{2} \tag{41}\]

Equation 42, Free-Fall Speed From the Release Altitude. A body falling from the release altitude without drag would reach 984 feet per second, more than twice the speed reached.

\[V = \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2(32.174)(15{,}050)} = 984 \ \text{ft/s} \tag{42}\]

Equation 43, Bespoke Full-Scale Equivalent of the Descent Time. The series descent time of 75 seconds divided by the square root of the mean scale ratio stands for an 85 second full-scale event.

\[t_{f} = \frac{t_{m}}{\sqrt{\lambda}} = \frac{75}{\sqrt{0.778}} = 85.0 \ \text{s} \tag{43}\]

Equation 44, Range to Height Ratio of the 1998 Flight. The published distance of 2.5 miles over the release altitude of about 9,000 feet gives a straight-line ratio of 1.47. X-40 Boeing X-37 and X-40

\[\frac{2.5 \times 5{,}280}{9{,}000} = \frac{13{,}200}{9{,}000} = 1.47 \tag{44}\]

Equation 45, Range to Height Ratio at the Alternative Altitude. The museum’s release altitude of about 10,000 feet lowers the ratio to 1.32. Boeing X-40A

\[\frac{13{,}200}{10{,}000} = 1.32 \tag{45}\]

Equation 46, Bespoke Lift in the 12 April Glide. The lift balancing the weight across the path is evaluated at the paired flight path angle of 28.0 degrees.

\[L = W \cos\gamma = 2{,}600 \cos 28.0^{\circ} = 2{,}297 \ \text{lb} \tag{46}\]

Equation 47, Lift Equation. Lift is the dynamic pressure times the reference area times the lift coefficient.

\[L = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho V^{2} S C_{L} \tag{47}\]

Equation 48, Bespoke Dynamic Pressure at the Representative Altitude. Half the standard density at a mean altitude of 8,000 feet, which the article takes, times the published speed squared gives 171.2 pounds per square foot. U.S. Standard Atmosphere 1976 1976

\[\bar{q} = \tfrac{1}{2} \rho V^{2} = \tfrac{1}{2}(0.001869)(428)^{2} = 171.2 \ \text{lb/ft}^{2} \tag{48}\]

Equation 49, Bespoke Product of Reference Area and Lift Coefficient. The lift from the paired path angle over the dynamic pressure at the representative altitude fixes the product of area and lift coefficient at 13.42 square feet.

\[S C_{L} = \frac{2{,}297}{171.2} = 13.42 \ \text{ft}^{2} \tag{49}\]

Equation 50, Bespoke Aspect Ratio. The published span with an estimated planform area of 100 square feet gives an aspect ratio of 1.44.

\[AR = \frac{b^{2}}{S} = \frac{12^{2}}{100} = 1.44 \tag{50}\]

Equation 51, Induced Drag Coefficient. The induced drag coefficient is the lift coefficient squared over pi times the Oswald efficiency times the aspect ratio.

\[C_{D_{i}} = \frac{C_{L}^{2}}{\pi e AR} \tag{51}\]

Equation 52, Bespoke Induced Drag Coefficient of the X-40A. The induced drag is evaluated with the lift coefficient implied by the estimated area, the estimated aspect ratio and an Oswald efficiency of 0.6 that the article assumes.

\[C_{D_{i}} = \frac{0.134^{2}}{\pi (0.6)(1.44)} = 0.0066 \tag{52}\]

Equation 53, Bespoke Angular Rate Ratio at the Mean Scale. At the mean scale ratio of 0.778 the model’s angular rates are 1.134 times those of the full-scale vehicle.

\[\frac{\omega_{m}}{\omega_{f}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{0.778}} = 1.134 \tag{53}\]

Equation 54, Bespoke Required Inertia Ratio. Dynamic similarity at the mean scale ratio requires an inertia ratio of 0.285.

\[\left(\frac{I_{m}}{I_{f}}\right)_{\text{required}} = 0.778^{5} = 0.285 \tag{54}\]

Equation 55, Bespoke Actual Inertia Ratio. The published mass ratio times the square of the mean scale ratio gives an actual inertia ratio of 0.143.

\[\left(\frac{I_{m}}{I_{f}}\right)_{\text{actual}} = (0.236)(0.778)^{2} = 0.143 \tag{55}\]

Equation 56, Bespoke Fraction of the Required Inertia. The actual over the required inertia ratio shows the vehicle carried about half the rotational inertia that similarity demanded.

\[\frac{0.143}{0.285} = 0.502 \tag{56}\]

Equation 57, Bespoke Angular Acceleration Against a Similar Model. Angular acceleration is moment over inertia, so the inertia ratios built on the mean scale ratio make the plant respond about twice as fast as a similar model.

\[\ddot{\theta} = \frac{M}{I} \quad \Longrightarrow \quad \frac{\ddot{\theta}_{\text{actual}}}{\ddot{\theta}_{\text{similar}}} = \frac{0.285}{0.143} = 1.99 \tag{57}\]

Equation 58, Angle Subtended by the Landing Error. The published seven foot tracking error over the published 13,200 foot distance subtends at most 1.82 minutes of arc. X-40

\[\theta \le \frac{7}{13{,}200} = 5.30 \times 10^{-4} \ \text{rad} = 1.82 \ \text{arcmin} \tag{58}\]

Equation 59, Mean Deceleration Over a Stroke. A sink rate arrested over a gear stroke imposes a mean deceleration of the sink rate squared over twice the stroke.

\[a = \frac{\dot{h}^{2}}{2s} \tag{59}\]

Equation 60, Bespoke Gear Deceleration at Touchdown. A representative touchdown sink rate of three feet per second into an assumed six inch stroke gives about 0.28 times standard gravity. Larson 1972

\[a = \frac{3^{2}}{2(0.5)} = 9 \ \text{ft/s}^{2} \tag{60}\]

Equation 61, Mean Rollout Deceleration. The published rollout of about 7,000 feet gives the mean deceleration as the touchdown speed squared over 14,000 feet. X-40

\[a = \frac{V_{td}^{2}}{2 s} = \frac{V_{td}^{2}}{14{,}000} \tag{61}\]

Equation 62, Bespoke Rollout Deceleration Bracket. The rollout deceleration is evaluated at assumed touchdown speeds of 150 and 200 feet per second, since none is published.

\[a\big|_{150} = 0.050 \ g \qquad a\big|_{200} = 0.089 \ g \tag{62}\]

Equation 63, Specific Energy of an Unpowered Vehicle at Release. The available specific energy at release is the potential term plus the kinetic term of the release speed.

\[\frac{E}{m} = gh + \tfrac{1}{2}V_{0}^{2} \tag{63}\]

Equation 64, Ratio of Release Energies. With release from a hover the energies of the 2001 and 1998 releases stand in the ratio of their published altitudes, 1.672. X-40A second free flight successful

\[\frac{(E/m)_{2001}}{(E/m)_{1998}} = \frac{g(15{,}050)}{g(9{,}000)} = \frac{15{,}050}{9{,}000} = 1.672 \tag{64}\]

Equation 65, One-Sided Upper Bound on Failure Probability. For a number of trials with no observed failure, requiring that run of successes to be no less likely than the significance level bounds the failure probability.

\[(1 - p)^{n} = \alpha \quad \Longrightarrow \quad p_{\max} = 1 - \alpha^{1/n} \tag{65}\]

Equation 66, Upper Bound After Eight Clean Landings. Eight successes bound the failure probability below 0.312 at 95 percent confidence.

\[p_{\max} = 1 - 0.05^{1/8} = 0.312 \tag{66}\]

Equation 67, Fabrication Cost per Flight. One million dollars of fabrication across eight free flights is 125,000 dollars per flight before operating costs.

\[\frac{1{,}000{,}000}{8} = 125{,}000 \ \text{dollars per flight} \tag{67}\]
