Supersonic Magnus Measurements of the 10-Caliber Army-Navy Spinner Projectile with Wrap-Around Fins

Abstract

A research configuration was formed by attaching wraparound fins in a cruciform arrangement to a 10-caliber Army-Navy spinner projectile. This configuration was tested in a supersonic tunnel to get the Magnus force and moment, as well as the normal force and pitching moment. Model spin rate was generated by means of fin cant.
