INVESTIGATION OF STING SUPPORT INTERFERENCE EFFECTS ON THE DYNAMIC AND STATIC STABILITY CHARACTERISTICS OF A 10-DEG CONE AT MACH NUMBERS 2.5, 3.0, AND 4.0,

Abstract

Tests were conducted in Tunnel D of the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility to investigate sting support interference effects on the dynamic and static stability characteristics of a 10-deg half-angle cone. A free oscillation, cross-flexuje pivot balance system was used. Data were obtained at Mach numbers of 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0 at Reynolds numbers ranging from 0.45 x 10 to 6th power. Selected test results are presented, and comparisons are made with first and second- order potential flow theory and conical flow theory.
