**3.2.5 Spherically blunted-cone/flare capsule**

The spherically blunted-cone/flare configuration is illustrated in Fig. 2. The conical forebody has RN = 0.51 m, D = 2.03 m, L = 1.67 m and N = 20 deg. The flare has a half-angle cone of 25 deg and is terminated with a right circular cylinder and a geometrically similar to the REV of the DART demonstrator. Table 1(b) gives the semi-cone angle of various reentry vehicles.
