THE EFFECT OF SEVERAL FORWARD-MOUNTED CONTROL JET NOZZLES ON A TYPICAL MISSILE CONFIGURATION AT TRANSONIC SPEEDS, VOLUME I,

Abstract

Wind tunnel tests were conducted on a research model with a cold-gas jet exhausting from the top of the model near the nose. The model represented a typical missile configuration. The tests were performed to determine the effect of nozzle shape on model and tailfin loads and pressure distributions. Integrated incremental loads were determined from body pressure data in the vicinity of the nozzle. The tests were performed at Mach numbers from 0.20 to 1.25, at angles of attack from -6 to +10 degrees, and at jet pressure ratios from 0 to 120. The report presents details of the test program, an outline of the test procedure, and results of the investigation in graphical and tabular form. (Author)
