Starship does kinda do a shuttle wing entry right?


Yeah, it has some lift. Not as much as the space shuttle, but more than apollo.

I couldn't find published numbers for reentry.

I know it hits 2.5g for a second during the final flip maneuver, I suspect they have engineered it to hit about the same during reentry.


Cool stuff!
