AERODYNAMIC TESTING ON CONICAL CONFIGURATIONS USING A MAGNETIC SUSPENSION SYSTEM.

Abstract

Tests were conducted to obtain the pitch plane static force and moment coefficients on conical models at subsonic speeds using a prototype magnetic suspension system. Similar tests were also conducted on a 10 deg. half angle cone at Mach 4.25. The static data obtained are presented and were conducted to obtain the damping in pitch coefficients at both subsonic and supersonic speeds. Although the results of these tests were inconclusive, a discussion of the technique used and recommendations for future testing are presented. (Author)
