Subsonic Wind-Tunnel Tests on a Series of Bomblets with Canted Fins

Abstract

This report describes wind-tunnel tests to measure the aerodynamic characteristics of a series of 48 bomblets with planar, canted and curved cruciform rectangular fins. Analysis of the results shows how the force and moment characteristics of a bomblet are affected by its length, its nose shape and the size and cant angle of its fins.
