ENGINEERING DESIGN HANDBOOK. BALLISTIC MISSILE SERIES: AERODYNAMICS

Abstract

Aerodynamics is one of a series of handbooks on ballistic missiles. It presents design information peculiar to ballistic missile flight, i.e., information outside the scope of basic subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics which may be termed 'conventional aerodynamics.' Accordingly, this handbook treats the problems unique to ballistic flight, namely, high-speed, high temperature and high altitude effects. Empirical as well as theoretical data are presented in the tables and graphs which accompany the text material.
