Abstract
When studying papers discussing aspects of the aerodynamic shape definition process of the Space Shuttle Orbiter, see, e.g., [1], one is confronted with a host of different methods, correlations, simulation tools, etc. which were employed. At that time the discrete numerical methods of aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics were just beginning to appear. In the meantime very large algorithmic achievements and fantastic developments in computer speed and storage, and in general in the information technologies, have happened and change now profoundly the aerothermodynamic design processes, but also the scientific work.
