Single point trimming of the hypersonic glider is not sufficient to accomplish the mission requirements and attain maximum performance. Applied to a hypersonic flight experiment, the present research shows that drifts of +/-4% around the centre of gravity imply large penalties on the aerodynamic efficiency along the intended glider trajectory. The analysis is based upon a three degrees of freedom trajectory analysis. Beyond the current parametric analysis, the final manuscript will address the optimization of the vehicle trim to maximize the trajectory performance.
