Suborbital flight is the new frontier of human flight which, for several years, has been aiming to create a new market niche on the frontier between air and space transport (and tourism). However, this is a sector still affected by problems and uncertainties, linked to the particular environment in which future transatmospheric aircraft will be called to operate. In fact, this type of flight aims to exploit precisely the border area between the Earth's atmosphere and space. Therefore, since it cannot be classified either as an aeronautical flight or as a space flight, this implies, both from a technological point of view and in terms of safety and regulations, an area on which it is not enough to apply the already known solutions, since it constitutes a matter that cannot be framed within existing technologies and regulations. The aim of the thesis work carried out was therefore to analyse, study and collect the main sources, texts, documents and research related to suborbital flight, in order to identify the fundamental critical issues. Furthermore, the problem has not been addressed exclusively from a technical and engineering point of view, through the use of mathematical models and simulations, but a legal analysis has been combined with it, based on the main texts of space and aeronautical law , in order to also be able to present the main legal and economic implications of this new sector.
Il volo suborbitale è la nuova frontiera del volo umano che, da diversi anni, punta a creare una nuova nicchia di mercato alla frontiera fra il trasporto (e il turismo) aereo e spaziale. Trattasi tuttavia di un settore ancora affetto da problematiche e incertezze, legate al particolare ambiente in cui i futuri aerei transatmosferici saranno chiamati ad operare. Infatti, tale tipologia di volo, punta a sfruttare proprio la zona di confine tra l’atmosfera terrestre e lo spazio. Pertanto, non essendo classificabile né come un volo aeronautico, né come un volo spaziale, ciò comporta, sia da un punto di vista tecnologico, sia sul piano di sicurezza e regolamentazioni, una zona sulla quale non basta applicare le soluzioni già note, poiché costituisce una materia non inquadrabile nelle tecnologie e nelle regolamentazioni esistenti. L’obiettivo del lavoro di tesi svolto è stato dunque quello di analizzare, studiare e raccogliere le principali fonti, testi, documenti e ricerche relative al volo suborbitale, al fine di individuare le criticità fondamentali. Inoltre, il problema non è stato affrontato esclusivamente dal punto di vista tecnico e ingegneristico, mediante l’uso di modelli matematici e simulazioni ma, ad esso, è stata unita un’analisi di tipo giuridico, basata sui principali testi di diritto spaziale e aeronautico, in modo da essere in grado di presentare anche i principali risvolti legali ed economici di questo nuovo settore.

Abstract
Suborbital flight is the new frontier of human flight which, for several years, has been aiming to create a new market niche on the frontier between air and space transport (and tourism). However, this is a sector still affected by problems and uncertainties, linked to the particular environment in which future transatmospheric aircraft will be called to operate. In fact, this type of flight aims to exploit precisely the border area between the Earth's atmosphere and space. Therefore, since it cannot be classified either as an aeronautical flight or as a space flight, this implies, both from a technological point of view and in terms of safety and regulations, an area on which it is not enough to apply the already known solutions, since it constitutes a matter that cannot be framed within existing technologies and regulations. The aim of the thesis work carried out was therefore to analyse, study and collect the main sources, texts, documents and research related to suborbital flight, in order to identify the fundamental critical issues. Furthermore, the problem has not been addressed exclusively from a technical and engineering point of view, through the use of mathematical models and simulations, but a legal analysis has been combined with it, based on the main texts of space and aeronautical law , in order to also be able to present the main legal and economic implications of this new sector.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
