A Compilation of Aerodynamic Nomenclature and Axes Systems

Abstract

A compilation of aerodynamic nomenclature and axes systems is presented. The primary and secondary (subscript and superscript) symbols and aerodynamic coefficients are treated in detail. The body-, stability-, wind-, aeroballistic-, and tunnel-axes systems are defined and presented pictorially. Transfer equations from the body-axes system to the other systems together with their derivations are included.
