		A sub-orbital spaceflight (or sub-orbital flight) is a spaceflight in which the spacecraft reaches space, but its trajectory intersects the atmosphere or surface of the gravitating body from which it was launched, so that it does not complete one orbital revolution.
		In a vertical flight of not too high altitudes, the time of the free-fall is both for the upward and for the downward part the maximum speed divided by the acceleration of gravity, so with a maximum speed of 1 km/s together 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
		SpaceShipOne was officially declared by Rick Searfoss to have won the competition on October 4, 2004 after completing two flights within a two week period.

		Notes: First powered flight of SpaceShipOne with a 15 second burn of the rocket motor.
		There was a flight control system anomaly, resulting in a lower than planned altitude.
		A 89 second burn was planned, but the burn was ended 12 seconds early due to a roll which began near the top of the flight.

		One of the early test flights actually performed re-entry inverted, demonstrating the flexibility and inherent stability of Burt Rutan's "shuttlecock" design.
		After months of glide tests, the first powered flight, SpaceShipOne flight 11P, was made on December 17 2003.
		Inflation adjusted comparisons of the SpaceShipOne program with that of the X-15 budget, indicate that the Tier One program cost 1/100th that of the X-15 program, although the three X-15 aircraft made almost 200 test flights in their entire test program, typically exploring hypersonic flight between mach 4-7.

		While a helicopter's rotor is rotated by an engine during normal flight, the rotor of an autogyro is driven by aerodynamic forces in autorotation.
		Flight feathers are the long, stiff, asymmetrically shaped, but symmetrically paired feathers on the wings or tail of a bird; those on the wings are called remiges while those on the tail are called rectrices.
		In normal forward flight the airfoils are given a slight positive pitch at the top of and forward portion of their arc, producing lift and forward thrust, negative pitch at the bottom, and are "flat" through the rest of the circle to produce little or no lift in other directions.

	SpaceShipOne / White Knight flight log
		During a portion of the boost, the flight director display was inoperative, however the pilot continued the planned trajectory referencing the external horizon.
		The feather entry was not explored and the rest of the glide flight used to assess the handling qualities of the vehicle leading to an uneventful landing.
		The entire flight, from launch to landing, was viewable from the ground and SpaceShipOne with its unique planform was intriguing to watch as it cut gracefully through the air and was put through its paces.
