FREE-FLIGHT BALLISTICS RANGE TESTS OF MODELS FOR THE GE PROGRAM 1-62

Abstract

Data are presented for seven free-flight shots of models of the 1-62 program made in the Pressurized Ballistics Range No. 3 at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory. A drag curve was obtained for the Mach number range of 4 through 7. Stability coefficients were also obtained and are presented in both graphical and tabular form. The Reynolds numbers for these shots were 0.5 to 2.4 million. Shadowgraph pictures are also included for flow studies.
