DETERMINATION OF PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS FOR FIN-STABILIZED FREE-FLIGHT MISSILES

Abstract

The methods used by the Firing Tables Branch for the analysis of flight tests of fin-stabilized, free-flight missiles are outlined. Examples of obtaining thrust and aerodynamic drag from reduction of camera data with the aid of high speed computers are given. Determination of various performance parameters needed for the construction of firing tables is explained: some typical results are presented.
