Design Features of a Space Shuttle
The aerodynamic profile of this orbit-capable spacecraft features broad wings along the fuselage and a large tail fin at the rear. The rounded nose cone housing guidance systems leads back to an expansive payload bay body.
Gliding Back from Orbit
Space shuttles land like giant gliders because they carry no engine fuel during re-entry into the atmosphere. The wide delta wings provide aerodynamic lift during atmospheric flight, while vertical tail fins stabilize the vehicle as it approaches the runway.
