ANALOG COMPUTERS FOR THE EVALUATION OF AERODYNAMIC COEFFICIENTS

Abstract

During static-stability tests in the US Naval Ordnance Laboratory's wind tunnels, it is desirable to have the six aerodynamic coefficients computed on-line. This report describes the special-purpose analog computers designed to make these computations and display the results.
