"Space Shuttle Reentry A Space Shuttle Concept The experts at OKB-1 pioneers behind the Soyuz capsule were decidedly unimpressed with the winged design of the US shuttle. Their extensive aerodynamic studies painstakingly conducted during the Soyuz development revealed daunting weight penalties and troublesome thermal control issues inherent to any winged craft. Instead their research illuminated a compelling alternative: a lifting body shape capable of executing high angles of bank at hypersonic speeds which could almost rival winged designs in terms of cross range efficiency. They firmly"
