Rolling Moment Coefficients for the XSM-65-A and the SM-65-C Missiles from Wind Tunnel Tests at Mach Numbers from 1.05 to 4.54,

Abstract

This report presents rolling moment data for transonic and supersonic wind tunnel tests on models of the XSM-65-A and SM-65-C missiles. The tests were run as a part of a general test program to determine aerodynamic characteristics of the missiles. The rolling moment data are applicable to design of the autopilot and roll control system, as well as aiding in general structural design. (Author)
