摘要：

The benefits and effects air-launching expendable or reusable launch vehicle (LV) by using quantitative methods is discussed. Air-launch vehicle consist of at least two stages, a carrier aircraft and a rocket-powered LV. The most beneficial carrier aircraft launch parameters are launch velocity, launch flight-path angle and launch altitude. An optimum launch flight-path angle also helps in maximizing the velocity benefit from air launching.
