AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS IN PITCH AND SIDE-SLIP OF 1/15-SCALE MODEL OF THE SCOUT VEHICLE AT A MACH NUMBER OF 2.01

Abstract

The effects of two sets of cruciform fins, of inline and indexed fin arrangements, a flare, andACCESSORIES SUCH AS ANTENNAS, LAUNCH FITTINGS, AND CONTROL TUNNELS ON THE AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONFIGURATION WERE MEASURED FOR COMBINED ANGLES OF ATTACK AND SIDESLIP TO ABOUT 8 DEGREES. The investigation was made in the Langley 4- by 4-foot supersonic pressure tunnel at a Reynolds number of 4 x 10 to the 6th power per foot. (Author)
