AERODYNAMIC INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PROJECT ASSET CONFIGURATION IN THE NOL 4-IN. HYPERSONIC SHOCK TUNNEL NO. 3
Abstract
Static aerodynamic moment, lift, and drag coeffi cients of the Project CONFIGURATION ARE DETERMINED IN THE NOL 4-in. Hypersonic Shock Tun nel No. 3. With the use of high-speed photog raphy, light-weight models of missiles and a light-weight sphere are photographed in free flight in the shock tunnel test section. Coef ficients are obtained by comparison of the motion of each model to that of the sphere. In this man ner, five tests were conducted, with two models in each test. Test regimes included Mach numbers 12 to 14 and Reynolds numbers 0.3 x 10 to the 6th power to 0.46 x 10 to the 6th power. (Author)
