Aerodynamic Data for Spinning Projectiles

Abstract

This is a collection of the physical and aerodynamic data of spinning projectiles (excluding spin-stabilized rockets) which have been obtained experimentally in the U.S. during the past decade. Some theoretical and empirical formulas are included. The index classifies the projectiles according to their shape. Most of these data were determined from free flight, but a few wind tunnel results are included.
