This patented procedure is called inair-capturing. The performance gain by this advanced method shows a possible increase in delivered payload between 15 % and 25% or allows for significantly reducing the size of a reusable system without any loss in payload mass when comparing to winged fly-back. The paper gives an overview of ongoing experimental and numerical work at DLR in raising the TRL and proposes a development roadmap on how to bring this efficient technology to reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/hisst-2018_1580867.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/hisst-2018_1580867.pdf\">Read the full paper ><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Martin Sippel, Leonid Bussler, Stefan Krause, Sebastian Cain, Sven Stappert DLR, German Aerospace Center<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DOI Number XXX-YYY-ZZZ<\/p>\n<p>Conference Number HiSST 2018-1580867<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[994,1001,86,192],"tags":[434,604,603,552],"class_list":["post-13328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hisst-2018","category-propulsion-systems-and-components","category-papers-space-launch-vehicles","category-papers-space-systems","tag-hisst-2018","tag-in-air-capturing","tag-return-modes","tag-rlv","category-994","category-1001","category-86","category-192","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13328"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13328\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16039,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13328\/revisions\/16039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
