An angle of attach of less than 40 degrees would have caused the shuttle to bounce back off the atmosphere - in the same way as stones are skimmed on water.
An angle greater than 40 degrees would have resulted in great deal of drag (friction). This would have caused the shuttle's skin to heat up more than the heat-tiles could have managed.

Zero degrees.
Hi!The angle of incidence is built into the aircraft, and cannot be changed. This angle is the angle that the wing makes with a level surface (such as if the ground if the aircraft were parked).The angle of attack (commonly abbreviated AoA), is the angle that the chordline of the airfoil makes with the relative wind. So if you were in straight and level flight, maintaining altitude, the angle of attack would be zero degrees.When an aircraft exceeds a critical angle of attack (which is determined by the design of the airplane), the airflow will peel off of the wing, causing the wing to stop producing lift. The aircraft is, in this scenario, stalled.Hope this helps.Source(s):PPL ASEL 6/17/08
From what? It's 90 degrees from the floor, and its angle from the wall varies during use.
it is the difference between local flow direction and free stream direction of atmospheric air
Lift lbf = (Normal force lbf) x (cosine of angle of attack)
