ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a novel method of designing a space vehicle. Unlike all previous known methods of designing a space vehicle, the present invention relies upon Radial Deviation Parameter to devise the flow field which provides the aero-dynamic effect as well as serving as an energy source to propel the space vehicle. The present invention would provide a single stage to orbit vehicle, which is a noted advancement over the conventional multi-stage to orbit vehicle. Furthermore, the teaching of the Radial Deviation Parameter design method can also be applied to trans-continent flight vehicles.
