The Space Shuttle was protected during reentry by its thermal protection system tiles, and it glided as a spaceplane to a runway landing, usually to the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC, Florida, or to Rogers Dry Lake in Edwards Air Force Base, California. It had a glide ratio of 4.5:1, which is only slightly better than a helicopter with an engine failure (4:1) | Airline Secrets Exposed
