DRAG AND STABILITY DATA OBTAINED FROM FREE-FLIGHT RANGE FIRINGS WITHIN THE MACH NUMBER RANGE OF 0.4 TO 3.0 FOR SEVERAL CYLINDRICAL CONFIGURATIONS

Abstract

Tests were conducted at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory on several cylindrical configurations to determine their drag and stability characteristics. The configurations consisted of four types: three types of fin-cylinders and an offset C.G. cylinder, i.e., one whose C.G. is off the axis of the cylinder. These were fired within the Mach number range of 0.4 to 3.0. Drag and stability coefficients were obtained for the configurations. (Author)
