DYNAMIC STABILITY TESTS ON A 1/5-SCALE MODEL OF THE BIG Q AIR-TO-AIR MISSILE AT MACH NUMBERS FROM 1.5 TO 4
Abstract
Tests were conducted in the 40-in. supersonic tunnel to determine the dynamic stability characteristics of a 1/5-scale model of the Big Q air-to-air missile. Data were obtained at Mach numbers from 1.49 to 3.99 at the model trim angle of attack and at plus and minus 1 to 2 deg from trim at a near constant Reynolds number of 8,000,000, based on model length. The effects of Mach number and canard angle on the damping-in-pitch derivatives and effective slope of the pitching-moment curve at the trim angle of attack are presented.
