STATIC LONGITUDINAL STABILITY AND CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS AT MACH NUMBERS OF 2.86 AND 6.02 AND ANGLES OF ATTACK UP TO 95 DEGREES OF A LENTICULAR- SHAPED REENTRY VEHICLE

Abstract

Tests were made at angles of attack from -10 to 95 degrees. The Reynolds number, based on the body diameter, was about 0.28 x 10 to the 6th power at a Mach number of 2.86 and 0.54 x 10 to the 6th power at a Mach number of 6.02. The model was tested with and without movable fins. The fins were set at deflection angles of 20, 0, and -30 degrees.
