ANALYSIS OF MISSILE TANK GEOMETRIES

Abstract

Mathematical relations are presented pertaining to various missile tank and bulkhead configurations. Although some of these relations are available in handbooks, they are included in this technical note together with a number of newly derived formulas. In this manner a comprehensive summary of equations is obtained, permitting rapid computation of volumes, surfaces and other geometric characteristics of a great variety of shapes. The purpose of this technical note is to eliminate the need for repeating the derivations of frequently used equations in preliminary design and layout of missiles.
