ALARR VEHICLE STABILITY.

Abstract

This technical report describes the stability of the Air-Launched, Air-Recoverable Rocket (ALARR) vehicle based upon extrapolation of wind tunnel data of former shapes. This analysis became necessary because of numerous changes in the vehicle shape and because of the desire to determine the minimum acceptable ballast required to increase vehicle performance. The minimum stability that determines the amount of ballast needed occurs during motor burn. Two of the four payloads require ballast to achieve the recommended stability; however, all achieve the minimum acceptable stability without ballast. (Author)
