Free-flight aerodynamic testing of the Skylon space plane

The determination of aerodynamic coefficients for complex high-speed vehicles still requires experimental measurement. This paper details the development of the free-flight measurement technique within the University of Oxford High Density Tunnel. In particular, a novel image processing technique is...
