For sale is a copy of "Hypersonic Technology Programme" released by
the Federal Ministry for Research and Technology, Bonn, Germany, 1989,
paperback brochure.
This brochure outlines the hypersonic technology program that the
German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology initiated in 1988
with the goal of developing the fully reusable two stage SÄNGER space
transportation system. The program aimed at first creating required
technologies and then demonstrating them in an experimental vehicle
before making a decision of full scale development of an operational
system as a joint international venture within the European Space
Agency. The program gives a brief overview over relevant past national
activities, such as tests of reentry vehicle configurations in the
late Sixties and early Seventies, and analyzes the then current
situation in the area of spaceplanes in other countries. It also
defines the objectives and structure of the program including funding
profiles and describes the SÄNGER vehicle reference concept
configuration and the associated issues and technological challenges.
It contains a three view drawing of the SÄNGER reference concept
design including the HORUS orbiter and preliminary vehicle data for
all stages as well as a graph depicting the mission profile of the
hypersonic first stage and a graphic illustrating the different
airbreathing propulsion alternatives. Diagrams on surface temperatures
and engine performance as functions of flight Mach number are also
included.
The softbound brochure has 38 pages and is 5 ¾" x 8 ¼" tall. It
comprises 9 chapters including a summary, a bibliography and
abbreviations, and is illustrated with color and black and white
drawings and two color photographs.
The price is $6.

For sale is a report "The Douglas Aerophysics Laboratory Four-Foot
Trisonic Wind Tunnel", Douglas Missile & Space Systems Division,
Douglas Report DAC-59809, October 1967.
This report describes the Four-Foot Trisonic Wind Tunnel, which
allowed to simulate aerodynamic phenomena in a speed range from
subsonic through Mach 5, and the Douglas Aerophysics Laboratory
facility in El Segundo, CA, where it was located. It also presents the
performance and operating characteristics of the tunnel, model support
and design considerations for tests, diverse test capabilities,
associated instrumentation and data recording equipment, data
processing and presentation, and customer responsibilities for
obtaining optimum planning and performance of wind tunnel tests. It
was intended fur use as an aid in planning and conducting tests in the
wind tunnel and constitutes a document reflecting a piece of aerospace
history.
The report has a total of 78 pages and is 8 ½" x 11" tall. It
comprises 9 sections and contains tables as well as black and white
photographs, drawings and diagrams. It has transparent plastic covers
