A COMPARISON OF EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICALLY PREDICTED PRESSURE DISTRIBUTIONS AND FORCE AND STABILITY COEFFICIENTS FOR A SPHERICALLY BLUNTED CONE AT MACH APPROX. 18 AND ANGLES OF ATTACK

Abstract

Analysis of experimental pressure distributions and force and moment coefficients for a 9-deg half-angle spherically blunted cone is presented based on an ideal gas (y = 1.4) three-dimensional characteristics solution developed by General Applied Sciences Laboratory (GASL). Comparisons are also made with predictions based on modified Newtonian theory.
