Spaceplane: The Return of the Reusable Spacecraft
About this audiobook
What Is Spaceplane
A vehicle that is capable of flying and gliding like an airplane while in the atmosphere of Earth and maneuvering like a spacecraft while in space is referred to as a spaceplane. In order to do this, spaceplanes need to include aspects of both aviation and spacecraft into their design. Sub-orbital spaceplanes often resemble fixed-wing aircraft more than orbital spaceplanes do, whereas orbital spaceplanes tend to be more analogous to conventional spacecraft. Rockets have been used to power every spaceplane that has ever flown, but gliders have been used to land them.
