Supersonic Wind Tunnel Magnus Measurements of the 7-, 8-, 9- and 10-Caliber Army-Navy Spinner Projectile

Abstract

The Army-Navy Spinner Projectile is a research shape that has been used as the foundation of many spin stabilized weapon designs. The purpose of the wind tunnel tests was to make supersonic wind tunnel Magnus measurements on AN Spinner configurations of 7-, 8-, 9- and 10-caliber lengths. Such an experimental study indicates the effect of length on the Magnus force and moment for a basic spin stabilized shape.
